The suspension will be here immediately respond. Sensors gather information on which the suspension settings are based. So just adjust the shock absorbers have the operation every 2.5 milliseconds to the current circumstances. This excels the Ghost not only by a very high level of comfort, but also precise steering and dynamic drive character.The air suspension can raise the body 25 mm or even 25 mm closer to the road. This can be useful during boarding and disembarking or while driving on bad roads.Other standard electronic assistance systems are Anti-Roll Stabilization, Dynamic Brake Control and Dynamic Stability Control including Dynamic Traction Control and Cornering Brake Control.
