“With a hydraulic motor-pump unit connected to each damper, Porsche Active Ride puts force into the car’s suspension. The system can lift up or push down on each wheel independently, and it’s used to dramatically increase ride comfort while also eliminating perceptible body roll.”
Mercedes: Hold my Becks🍺
Thanks Porsche. You literally described Mercedes ABC Active Body Control suspension from over TWO decades ago. Except ours was integrated seamlessly with the steering, brakes and transmission. Since 1999 every upper Class Mercedes had ABC and a version of ABC is used today called Magic Body Control with an actually innovative curve tilting function. Weird how you make this seem like some new innovation and only put it on a single package of a single model.
