Magic Body Control
The Magic Body Control is a new suspension system comprising Active Body Control, Road Surface Scan and the curve inclination function. The Road Surface Scan will scan up to 15 metres in front of the vehicle to detect an image of the road contours ahead. Using the information extrapolated from the stereo camera, the control unit will constantly calculate the best strategy to overcome uneven road surface in order to deliver a very smooth ride even over bumps.
In Active Body Control, the four suspension struts are fitted with hydraulic cylinders (so-called plungers) in order to adjust the force in each strut individually. This means that the system can almost completely compensate for lifting, rolling and pitching movements of the body.
