Facts about Hydraulic Suspension System
- 05
Ferrari and McLaren have both employed hydraulic interconnected suspension systems in Formula 1 racing to optimize aerodynamic ride height under varying cornering loads.
- 04
Rolls-Royce has used hydraulic self-leveling suspension on several of its luxury models to maintain a consistent ride height regardless of passenger or cargo load.
- 03
Active hydraulic suspension systems can adjust each wheel's damping independently in milliseconds, responding to road surface changes faster than a driver can perceive.
- 02
Hydraulic suspension systems work by using pressurized fluid to absorb road shocks, allowing ride height and stiffness to be actively adjusted while driving.
- 01
The Citroën DS, introduced in 1955, was one of the first production cars to feature a hydropneumatic suspension system using hydraulic fluid under pressure.
