ALFA SDC SUSPENSION
(Synaptic Dynamic Control)
The electronic suspensions control
system of the car is the result of a
sophisticated elaboration of the various
board sensors, aimed at optimising the
performance of the car.
The system continuously monitors the
damping of the suspensions through
the actuator installed on each shock
absorber. This way, the calibration of
the shock absorbers can be adjusted to
the conditions of the road surface and
to the dynamic conditions of the vehicle,
improving its comfort and road holding.
Also while the car is on the move,
the driver can choose (only in "d" or
"Race" mode), between two types of
