I just saw that this suspension adds 200 pounds over a regular suspension
A bit to heavy for a sprots car, but I could see this in an autobahn storming saloon.

It really couldn't be that much. I saw a special on Rhys and Rod Millen where they were developing a Military vehicle that used that Magnetic fluid and they could change the viscosity with a small amount of current in a fraction of a second. This was the same fluid that Cadillac was going to use.

Thats what they're using in the higher end Corvettes, Magnetic Selective Ride Control. It does change the viscosity in a very small amount of time. I'm not sure if it robs the car of any HP. I dont think Chevrolet would rob the Vette of any HP for this technology.

From Chevrolet's website:
"Magnetic Selective Ride Control
Magnetic Selective Ride Control is a real-time, cockpit-adjustable ride control system that adjusts shock absorber damping by means of electromagnetically charged particles contained within the shock fluid. When exposed to a magnetic charge, the fluid properties change, forming a near solid state. With wheel position sensors at each wheel, the system literally reads and responds to every inch of the road, immediately adjusts the damper force on each wheel and responds to changing road and driving conditions.
Unlike traditional mechanical shock valves, there is practically no limit to the range of soft-to-firm damping capability. And it responds five times faster than previous real-time damping (RTD) systems.
There are two cockpit settings: “Tour” and “Sport,” with a switch located on the center console. The "Tour" setting provides more ride comfort and compliance for everyday driving conditions, while the “Sport” setting provides a firmer ride for performance driving and more communication of road feel.
The difference for driver comfort is dramatic. Drivers feel less feedback from swells, dips and contours in the road. Real-time damping systems have existed for years, but they have always relied on traditional, mechanically operated shock valves. The breakthrough MR technology, with precise electronic control, represents the cutting edge of active suspension systems."
