🔊 Bose once built a suspension system so advanced that a Lexus LS400 could glide over bumps with its body staying almost completely level. ⠀ The prototype replaced conventional dampers with powerful linear electromagnetic motors at each wheel, allowing the suspension to actively move the wheels up and down in milliseconds. ⠀ Bose began developing the idea in 1980 and publicly demonstrated the working Lexus prototype in 2004 after more than two decades of research. ⠀ The system could dramatically reduce body roll, pitch and vertical movement, and the famous demo even showed the car jumping over an obstacle. ⠀ Despite how impressive it was, the technology never reached production because the hardware was too heavy and expensive for mass-market use at the time. ⠀ Would you want suspension like this in a modern performance car? ⠀ What are your thoughts? 🤔💭 ⠀ FOLLOW 👉 hypewhip for more wild automotive technology! 🤝🏎️ ⠀ ( Media: CNET / Bose ) ⠀ #bose #lexus #cars #engineering #automoti...
