Abstract: The paper presents the development of a simulation model of a car for the research of its controllability under the influence of a sudden gust of crosswind, viewed as a mechanical system with three stages of freedom. The parameters of the mechanical system, consisting of ideal solid body are determined. A model of three differential equations is obtained, which describes the translational movement along the horizontal transversal axis, and the rotary motions respectively around the vertical and the horizontal longitudinal axes. The acceleration functions are obtained, the linear transversal velocity, the two angular velocities and the rotation angle are determined. The simulation model is created by MATLAB and its toolbox SIMULINK. Some results are given and analyzed for six locations of the mass centre, which show the influence of the mass centre location upon the car controllability.
