  • The FF will also have carbon-ceramic brakes and a "magnetorheological" adaptive damping system, as featured on Ferrari's 458 Italia.

  • Like the Corvette ZR1 and the CTS-V Coupe, the wagon is set up on magnetorheological dampers, which use micro-metallic particles in the dampers to vary viscosity according to the car's dynamic sensors.

  • Let's say you bought this car, a Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon, with a 6.2-liter, 556-horsepower Corvette V8, six-speed manual transmission, magnetorheological dampers I'll get to that, Michelin SP2 gumballs, 15-inch front Brembo brakes with six-pot calipers, and microsuede wrapping on the steering wheel and shifter.

  • Known as magnetorheological (or "MR") fluids, they harden or change shape when they sense the presence of a magnetic field.

  • Other Ferrari-confirmed FF facts include a 0-100 km/h time of a blistering 3.7 seconds, an advanced adaptive damping system courtesy of Ferrari's latest magnetorheological shocks, updated carbon ceramic brakes and a 335 km/h top track speed.

  • It lowers the car by 10mm, stiffens its springs by 17 per cent at the front and 15 per cent at the rear, reduces the time it takes to change gear from 100ms to 85ms, and remaps the magnetorheological damping system to more aggressively reduce roll.

  • Further studies have been carried out also on auxetic and conventional PU foams doped with magnetorheological fluid - both mechanical, acoustic and dielectric properties showed significant changes when loaded with external magnetic fields.
