Delphi's MagneRide to be standard on European Audi TT

Delphi's MagneRide to be standard on European Audi TT
Delphi's MagneRide semi-active suspension is building quite an impressive list of clients. The system's electromagnetically controlled dampers than can instantly be switched between Comfort and Sport settings first appeared on the Chevy Corvette and Cadillac STS. Then Ferrari announced the technology would appear on its new 599GTB. Now Audi has announced it will rename the technology Audi Magnetic Ride and offer it to customers as standard fare on new Euro-spec TTs. A console-mounted two-stage switch will allow TT drivers to switch between the two modes on the fly. It is not yet clear whether the U.S. or other markets will receive MagneRide, either as standard-fit, or an option.
