The maximum lateral acceleration (aLmax) can be found this way: (more)

aLmax Kg ( 1 − 
0.5ρCLAv2
mg
)
(1)

Where K is defined by the smallest value of:

K = μ      or      K = 0.5
T
h

And:

ρ = atmospheric air density (= 1.225 kg/m³)
CLA = Lift factor
v = vehicle speed
m = vehicle mass
g = gravitational acceleration (= 9.80665 m/s²)
μ = tire-road friction coefficient
T = vehicle track
h = vehicle center of gravity height

*Note: If aerodynamic effects are omitted (CLA = 0), then aLmax = Kg.
