Audi's new R8 road-going sports car, which incorporates the genes of the five-time Le Mans winning race car, will join the Audi TT in featuring Delphi Corporation's revolutionary MagneRide suspension technology.
Called Audi Magnetic Ride this innovative technology uses magneto- rheological fluid-filled dampers to provide continuously variable real-time suspension damping control. The system offers increased damper tuning capability, a very large range of damping, and faster response over valve- based controlled suspension systems. Audi Magnetic Ride delivers both maximum driving dynamics and superior road isolation that results in excellent driver comfort.
Furthermore, drivers can choose from two driving programs with a console- mounted two-position driver preference switch depending on whether they want to drive with maximum road feel and control, or with the emphasis more on ride comfort.
