Lower transversal forces: active curve tilting

Available in the S 65 AMG, the Magic Body Control first suspension system with the ability to “look ahead”, had its world premiere in the S-Class. With the curve tilting function, the Coupe introduces a further world first for series-production cars. The curve tilting function makes the Coupe lean into bends in a manner similar to a motorcyclist or skier. The lateral acceleration acting upon occupants is reduced in a way akin to when driving in a steep curve, and passengers sit more firmly.

On country roads in particular, the new curve tilting function enhances motoring enjoyment and comfort. The aim is not to achieve higher cornering speeds, but a new driving experience: the S-Class Coupe glides elegantly through bends.
