To the folks on here parroting “Citroen did this 70 years ago” or “how’s this different from other adaptive suspensions,” what Porsche came up with is different and a completely active system that is able to proactively output forces toward each wheel, and fully control the pitch and roll behavior of the vehicle. This is similar in theory to the new Ferrari Purosangue, but is slightly different in execution (the specifics are mentioned in the article).
Other systems in the past are considered “semi-active” since they are only reactive to changes in the road surface or driver inputs. This includes magnetic-rheological dampers on GM cars (Corvettes, Blackwing), Porsche’s PDCC, or Mclaren/Rivian’s cross-linked hydraulic systems.
