![]() ![]() They notably gave the sensors the ability to process a wider selection of input and output signals, which translates to a wider spread between comfort and sport. ![]() Engineers then turned their attention to the system's software. The in-wheel accelerometers are more accurate than before, the inertial measurement unit is more precise, and the damper fluid formula was changed for quicker response times and a smoother ride. By reacting to the changing magnetic field, the fluid-filled shocks filter out road imperfections and maximize tire contact with the road to deliver more precise handling.Ĭadillac began developing the fourth-generation system by improving the hardware. In simpler terms, Magnetic Ride Control leverages chemistry and physics to make the ride sporty, comfortable, or somewhere in between - all in the blink of an eye. The fluid is in the shocks, so making it thicker returns a firmer ride, and vice versa. Sensors scan the road up to 1,000 times per second and send the information they gather to the electromagnets, which then alter their magnetic field as needed to modify the fluid's viscosity. It relies primarily on electromagnets that emit a magnetic field, and a magnetorheological fluid whose viscosity changes depending on the strength of the magnetic force. Introduced in 2002 on the Seville STS, this self-adjusting suspension is not as complicated as it might sound. It's offered on some variants of the CT4, CT5 and the Escalade. Its fourth-generation Magnetic Ride Control technology receives hardware and software tweaks to deliver a more comfortable ride and sharper handling. Bugatti makes the world's fastest car, but Cadillac claims it has developed the world's fastest suspension. ![]()
