Hardly realistic to be standard ... although it would be nice if it was. Originally Posted by jampoTT

VW Golf V6 4motion (does just what it says on the tin)
Vauxhall Lotus Carlton (a beast of a motorway cruiser)
Honda NSX, manual JDM (a beauty to drive anywhere)
Audi RS4, B7 saloon (awesome on any road - or track)

Why not? Of all the information "leaked" prior to the official launch, magnetic ride was always "there"... Originally Posted by Paul

Re: Magnetic ride ... STD or not?
It should have been standard even if this added £800 to the price as i think all R8's should have this.
To make it a option is just to make sure each car maximises profit, but then again thats the world we live in.

Yes, but it is a good option, the standard dampers are not bad at all! Originally Posted by TTej

I agree the car should have it standard, but not for free.'04 Brilliant Black S4 V8 (Milltek full exhaust)

Re: Magnetic ride ... STD or not?
Let's face it, at this price level for Audi's new "halo" car MANY of the options should arguably be standard. Extended Leather, Nav, the B&O stereo and the trick LED lighting are just a few that come to mind.
As far as the mag-ride dampers, those with smooth roads and the lunatic fringe who will modify the R8 for the track probably don't want or need them.

Re: Magnetic ride ... STD or not?
Does the magnetic ride make the car handle better or is it just for comfort?

Re: Magnetic ride ... STD or not?
Th magnetic dampers allow the suspension to be stiffened when required thus improving handling and softened when possible thus improving comfort.

Re: Magnetic ride ... STD or not?
I don't see why a set of aftermarket coilovers on the R8 without magnetic ride couldn't outpeform the magnetic dampers. They would never match the comfort but if the magnetic dampers are superior in handling I'll order them. I will have to see a test to decide I guess. Originally Posted by geffers
