    I drove magnet and non-magnet .... I could not tell any difference, whatsoever.
    I think I have read numerous times that the magnetic suspension is only useful for track work.

    Sorry but I politely, although STRONGLY disagree having driven both and discussed with other owners in depth. How long and where did you drive, which driving modes did you use? The statement of "...only useful for track work" is completely false.

    Magnetorheological Damper System developed by the Delphi Automotive Corporation (under GM).
    It's a shame that Corvette's Marketing Manager John Fitzpatrick and Corvette Product Manager Harlan Charles obviously don't seem to concur with you on this matter.
    Because, both have stated that Magnetic Selective Ride Control™ (same as that employed in the Huracan under license) is "not a big issue nor a deal breaker" when the cars are not used for competition driving.

    Sorry to OP for thread jacking but I feel strongly about Magneto...and wish you the best of luck in your search. I would ask your dealer to reach out to Lambo corp if they have not already and find you the right car. That is how I found my Huracan and skipped the wait...it was a corp owned car at the time not assigned to any dealer yet.

    It's a shame you're taking mere internet rhetoric as gospel and not the person with 1000's of miles of seat time in cars with magneto, let alone 3 in the garage at this moment. And I will reiterate once again that Magento makes a very big impact in suspension response. Delphi licensed away Magneto to chinese company BWI who makes the suspension for the Huracan and also my 599.

    But if you'd like to stick to reading about it on the internet from people with seat time in a Huracan (ooposed to GM execs), here are just a couple examples

    "It's a super sports car, to be sure, and the bumps are noticeable, but the magneto-rheological dampers make the ride smoother than it has any right to be"
    2015 Lamborghini Huracán First Drive - The Washington Post

    "The most impressive thing is the magneto suspension, everyone that wants to get a Huracan MUST have this option!"

    Mr. Ireson (the author of the Post article) is just a lawyer with a degree in Speech Communication.... just your average car devotee; He has zero automotive engineering science degrees.

    Yup.... I always take the word of a guy who writes internet articles and has no solid expertise in the auto industry!
    Sorry .... but, I will take the word of the automotive engineers and product managers working for automotive manufacturers; not some car buff lawyer or some novice owners who were sold a bill of goods.

    But hey ..... if you want to drive a super-sports car with a smooth limousine ride: Be my guest.
    I'll take the firm suspension 100% of the time !
    Take care not to let those "noticeable bumps" spill your latte. lol

    I'm not going to waste my time refuting every minute rebuttal from you when I already know the truth and proven my point...your insult to me and other members is out of line and not any way to support your opinion.

    Thank you, Ferruccio for not wasting any more time with 'your truths'.
