Mercedes-Benz CL
Coupé: The new flagship model with unique
technology and equipment |
With the CL, Mercedes confirms
its role as technological pioneer among automakers. The coupé is fitted with technical
systems offered by no other car in the world. The most important is Active Body Control
(ABC), an active suspension system. With the aid of electronically controlled hydraulic
cylinders on each wheel, this system instantaneously adapts the springing and damping of
the car body to the current driving situation. ABC virtually eliminates the otherwise
customary squat, roll and pitching movements of the car body when starting from rest,
cornering or braking. |
