Looks fantastic, in soft mode like a DS but wit no roll, I bet its complicated though - and expensive.

Read a bit about this yesterday. Looks rather good, although an expensive component - for now.
See that Tesla are also considering it, along with Siemens magnetic braking, which would enable a car's complete hydraulic system to be ditched.
Do hope that Citroen are still determined to do "something rather special" with their offerings.

Well there's hydractive 4 right there! Incrediable technology, if only Citroen would fit it.

I doubt Citroen will do anything more than the double damper system they have come up with.
A pity, as self levelling will be missed.

The Bose system has been around for decades. It works very well, but costs a fortune and the energy consumption must be significant as the car is suspended by active electrical units.
I would be surprised if Tesla implement any system with an energy deficit.

Looks great to me. Like a DS with new height correctors. The slalom bit would need hydractive or Activa rams fitted. Now there's an idea!
