A
magnetorheological fluid is a type of liquid that can change its properties in the presence of a magnetic field. It contains tiny particles that can align themselves when a magnetic field is applied, causing the fluid to become thicker or more resistant to flow. This property makes
magnetorheological fluids useful in various applications like shock absorbers, brakes, and robotics, where they can be controlled by magnetic fields to provide adjustable and precise movements.
Full definition
Dampers are adaptive using
a magnetorheological fluid - based valve-less system to constantly and almost instantly allow changes in damping force.
It can also be upgraded to incorporate control of the optional Audi magnetic ride system with
its magnetorheological fluid - filled dampers.
At extra cost the standard sports chassis can also be equipped with the Audi magnetic ride adaptive damping system incorporating sophisticated dampers filled with
a magnetorheological fluid containing minute magnetic particles that can be influenced by an electromagnetic field.
The active suspension system is the Delphi setup that General Motors uses, including
the magnetorheological fluid dampers.
