    Supplanting almost 100 years of traditional spring-and-shock-absorber suspension systems, this new system from Bose—a company best known for its stereo speakers—uses electromagnetic motors in place of traditional shocks. Mounted on each wheel, the motors use input from sensors throughout the vehicle to react to bumps and potholes instantaneously, exerting downward force to extend the wheel into potholes while keeping the car level and you comfy. As the wheel pops back up onto the road, the suspension recaptures nearly all the energy expended; it uses only one third the amount of power your AC does. And beyond smoothing out bumpy roads, the system improves handling, virtually eliminating body roll in tight turns and minimizing pitching motion during braking and acceleration.

    There's a YT video of this in action. The test bed was a Lexus sedan. Galeng!

    But the question remains...

    Has Bose successfully put this into commercial use? I haven't heard any new business developments regarding this suspension making it into any cars as stock equipment.

    The Fiorano's suspension is similar to the C6 Corvette's and the new TT's---it's "magneto-rheological."

    Basically the fluid has iron particles in it and the shock body has electromagnets. More magnetic force applied means a stiffer suspension
