The article is brief (one page) but highlights the utility of cross linking suspension's side to side.

The RS6 is mentioned in the timeline.

The author really needs to include a mention of the difficulty Audi had with making the DRC system functional as well as durable. 1200 cars shipped to the US, 1200 failed DRC systems.

To begin to push the idea further in the face of electrically modified viscosity systems used by Cadillac, BMW and others is foolish until the Engineers add the needed durable yet HEAVIER components to make it work for 100,000 miles.

Thanks...I will go to the B&N and check it out.

Yeah... 0 for 1200 isn't so flattering, but the DRC does sound good on paper. I believe in it, but Audi's execution fell way short.
