Seen it, it's nothing new... Bose has been working at that technology for years, and Citroen's applied it to their whole car line-up....

It's called hydropneumatic suspension... If you setup air suspension correctly, it's literally a step closer to that feeling IMO......

Hydropneumatic suspension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Actually, this suspension has nothing to do with hydropneumatic. There is no air and fluids involved. It is electromagnetic.

It's quite revolutionary and if it hit the markets, it would be the best one out.

I'm not buying another car until it is all electric and has this, oh and is not made of anything that can rust. I'm sick of these barbarian cars full of fluids, fire and iron oxide.

You mean this?

The only serious reason this caught my attention, i'm not gonna lie, was the latest F&F movie. I've never heard of the term before until I looked into it.

heh.... more electric more problems from my perspective.

Also, a whole car w/ anti-rust must cost a fortune to build! Take stainless steel for example. a brass fitting for air suspension's what.... $5-$15? stainless steel version of that is $25-$50.

Yeah, I was referring to this technology which BOSE pioneered. What's also amazing is that each motor on the wheel generates electricity when the car goes over bumps. BOSE's electric suspension uses about the same power of a car air conditioner on.

Air/fluid suspensions (which are slower to move up/down) will disappear once electromagnetic starts becoming cheaper and mainstream. There's no comparison between the two types.

Heh, i'll definitely be awaiting the day that application applies to our GS .

There's so many predictive sensors in that system it's not even funny. Take the Citroen suspension for example.... SAME output, different hardware .
