This Car Can Lean Into Curves, Literally

cartechboy writes: You know how motorcycle riders lean into the corners, sometimes even touching their knee to the ground? Yeah, you can't do that in a car, but Mercedes-Benz has developed new technology that replicates that sensation by leaning the car into bends. It's called Dynamic Curve and it's part of the Active Body control suspension system on the new 2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe. In turns, special plunger cylinders raise the suspension struts and lower the opposite side, depending on the direction of the bend. This has the result of tilting the car body slightly towards the inside of the corner, countering centrifugal cornering forces. Mercedes says it's not design for increasing cornering speeds, but increasing pleasure for the driver and passengers. We now live in an era where cars actively lean into corners for driver and passenger pleasure.
