Suspension damping control system
System function
This vehicle is equipped with the latest generation MagneRide™ magnetorheologically controlled suspension, a
system that continuously and automatically controls suspension damping developed by Delphi and honed by
Ferrari.
By processing data received from the vehicle dynamics sensors measuring the movements of the bodyshell, the
ECU determines the road surface conditions and instantaneously adapts the response of the suspension
accordingly, by varying the control current for each shock absorber.
These sensors allow the ECU to calculate vehicle speed, vertical and lateral acceleration, steering angle and
instantaneous brake system pressure, and therefore control suspension damping in relation to these
parameters.
Damping at each wheel is adjusted by a magnetorheological fluid which changes in density in relation to a
magnetic field applied to the suspension.
