> The only demoes we've seen of Porsche Active Ride are ride stabilizing over bumps, which to be fair is probably the most useful thing for most people. But I'm very curious to see what happens when people start racing with active ride control, to see how cars can start taking performance advantage of these systems. The article embeds a youtube video showing a record lap at Nurburgring, and specifically calls out a moment where a conventional suspension would result in a small hop, which is entirely eliminated by the suspension. The video is worth watching if you have any performance driving experience. The car looks spooky stable in the corners. It's very clearly more potent than active damper coil overs. In particular look at how it enters and exits the famous banked carousel corners. It's insanely crisp. Also it's an oil pump, not air pump. The suspension is like an oleo strut as used on airplanes, but with a pump to dynamically change the oil pressure.
