The Alfa Romeo MiTo “Quadrifoglio Verde”, equipped with a 1.4 litre, 170 hp MultiAir engine, is available also with Magneti Marelli’s Synaptic Damping Control suspension system, called “Dynamic Suspension” on the Alfa MiTo and a special configuration, the result of combining road testing by Alfa Romeo and Magneti Marelli’s most groundbreaking engineering expertise.

 

The “Dynamic Suspension” system consists of 4 electronically controlled shock absorbers, 5 accelerometric sensors, a control unit and an interface with Alfa DNA for different settings and with other on-board electronic systems.

 

The system provides better passenger protection from uneven road surfaces thanks to effective filtering and optimises comfort by recognizing obstacles (such as a bum or a hole) and adapting suspension behaviour accordingly.

 

The driver obtains three benefits by using the “Dynamic Suspension” system: comfort, safety and agility.

 

First of all, the electronic shock absorbers adapt to road conditions by controlling all chassis movements.

 

Moreover, by actively reacting to all kinds of road conditions, the “Dynamic Suspension” system always guarantees maximum grip and safety.

 

Lastly, thanks to better pitch and roll control in all conditions, there is better stability and cornering. The system interacts perfectly with the three different control strategies of the Alfa DNA device (“Normal”, All Weather” and “Dynamic”).
