Pretty Neat ! While I dont speak french, seeing that car have 0 body roll and then jump the board with no ramps is pretty sweet.

thats a pretty amazing suspension! To bad they put it on that Mercedes though instead of a nice car

 

That's truly amazing. Don't count on seeing that on today's modern vehicles as an option. It'd more than likely cost more than the vehicle itself.

 

Pretty cool!!!! It would be sweet if they could do an offroad application. Especially, if they could incorporate it to a long travel set-up!

 

According to an article in Wired from last Thanksgiving, it would add about 5 grand to the price of a car.

It's pretty cool, however it worries me because it would mislead a lot of drivers. You have almost no idea you could be pushing the limits of your car. We have a lot of canyons with winding roads here. Lots of folks ripping thru the canyons as fast as they can (sometimes with catastrophic results). I feel this would just cause those already stupid and reckless drivers into believing they could handle even more speed . . . result . . . even more accidents.

 

It's the innocents that the stupid person takes out in the process that worries me. I have no problem with the idiot dying but the collateral damage, especially with a car, doesn't make it worth it.

Now if we could come up with a way to rid the planet of morons that does not take out others, I'm all for it. (Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) the world population would drop to near zero).

 

This is not a shot at anyone in particular; but, a lot of people with this opinion would have a change of heart when they found out which list they ended up on.

 

The problem wouldn't be in the suspension, but in the rest of the car. Like needing some rubber that could hold the road and would roll over. ANd a car can only go so fast around a turn before *ANY* suspension couldn't hold it on the road.

Also, a benefit, install it on all ricers and never see another one lowered. to the ground riding down the road. A good benefit of jumping things would be for bank robbers. Put some runflats on that puppy and cruise away.
