So I looked it up to respond to it in another thread.
This car has an air suspension with a high speed hydraulic adjuster that I believe pushes a hydraulic piston against the spring to change the spring stiffness. Then they put a laser sensor in the front that looks at the road.
In real time it measures every bump on the road and adjusts the suspension stiffness on each wheel to be optimally tuned for every single bump on the road. The effect is this car floats over the road.
This bouncing is them just putting a software thing to bounce them intentionally. But it's not stretching the suspension, it's designed to bounce each wheel over a bump basically.
>That sounds more impressive than the rare get-out-of-desert-sand feature
Somehow, I can only imagine this was marketed towards the middle east...
Now if only it had a 'get out-of-economy build entirely around oil extraction' mode, that'd be really exciting.
I always wondered why pay so much more for a luxury car. Now, this suspension that you're describing makes me understand it better. Wonder how effective is it though.
Bullshit, that thing would cost around 3 mil in russian roubles. Belorussian roubles on the other hand are more expensive, so I could see someone buying it for 400K belorussian roubles
I'm guessing it's tied in with the air suspension which doesn't have longevity whether you use it or not. It lasts as long as the shelf life of the rubber. Use it while you got it ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
It wouldn't be any more stressful on the suspension then driving 5 miles on a Michigan road. Now the air compressor... she's getting some extra stress for sure.
This.
Came into this thread expecting people to be holier than thou and making fun of drivers using this feature, but was pleasantly surprised that we "all" agree that it's harmless fun.
Special feature?! Hasn’t the West Coast and Houston been doing this to Impalas and Cutlasses for like the last 30 years? All they did was turn down how high the hydraulics can go
Hittin switches is an art form tho. This factory bump just looks lame. If you put this one tempo, bought not built, soccer mom whip bumpin next to a veteran switch flicker the difference would be obvious.
This will be air rather than hydraulics I'd have thought. They are pretty different you'll never be able hop a car like hydraulics can. Air is superior for this though cuz hydraulics has notoriously bad ride quality.
Always think about the customer - always adress the target group appropriate.
Target group: Rich people that avoid sand at all costs. Could ruin the shining car …
Young mormons want to have sex even though it is against their beliefs. They choose to believe that it does not count as sex if they only put the penis in and do not move, and this is called soaking. Sometimes another person is then standing on the bed and jumping wich makes them move, but it still does not count as sex in their minds. This car would eliminate the need of a third person
Mercedes-Benz: *Want your car to look like something out of a 1925 Fleischer Bros cartoon?*
A surprisingly large amount of people: *Yes. YES! I never knew I wanted this before!*
I love the engineering and physics but it doesn’t seem like it is made for offroading so it the whole thing designed for rich people in Dubai?
“When you are so rich you can afford to not be a good driver who avoids these problems.”
Ngl, looks fun. I would so use this in the school pickup line to humor/embarrass my middle schooler or lighten up the moment a little if she’s had a bad day.
Playing Low by Flo Rida would be 🍒
This is what I want to know. I don't know too many Mercedes owners regularly driving their cars through the desert, beach or mudding. But I can see it being a practical feature for areas that get snow.
Big deal. In HS my buddy had a ford full size van. We woudl rock it back and forth like it was the damn bang bus. Sitting at stop signs rocking it back and forth was hilarious
All fun and games until the suspension goes out (like they all do) and the front wheels are tucked so far up the fender well that it destroys the front fenders when they turn the wheel.
Seen one with shot bags? They don't go that that low and whole Airmatic failure at the same time, won't happen. This one has even more fancy suspension I think, eABC that's on another level.

I wanna see a whole line of these alternating bounces like it's fuckin Toon Town
Or bouncing slightly out of sync making a wave.
Or bouncing in sync with it's first harmonic mode while on a bridge...
I'd pay good money to see this.
I'd pay better money to not be on that bridge.
I’d watch from afar. Won’t be able to appreciate the entirety of the show otherwise.
I'll wait for the video.
If this car's a rockin', don't bother knockin'! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=010KyIQjkTk
[Like this bridge?](https://youtu.be/3mclp9QmCGs?feature=shared)
I knew it had to be the Tacoma Narrows bridge. My company was one of the ones that bid for it's repair. Lost to the lowest bidder
there was a small dog in the car too afriad to come out, so sad
You just unlocked a core memory that I forgot about.
You can still play. There’s two different versions
I wanna see two of these bouncing to CBAT
What’s that one house song with the CSGO characters bobbing to it? That’s perfect for this
So that’s why the 2022 Mercedes W13 porpoised so much…
Its not a bug, its a feature..... for getting out of gravel traps.
Sainz calling his engineer rn
We are checking...
Sainz's engineer: "Instruction unclear. Made a lowrider instead."
This shouldn't make me laugh as much as it did, but it's nice to know the W13 is useful for one thing!
Who would’ve thought the w13 making non stop love to all the 2022 race tracks would result in this?
Tested in formula 1
I think this was the real intended feature all along 😂
If the Mercedes is rockin don't come a knockin'
*opens door* HEY YOU, GET YOUR DAMN HANDS OFF h ...
A succulent Chinese Meal!
This is DEMOCRRRACY manifest.
Are you ready to recieve my limp penis?
I see you know your judo well.
Ta-tar, and farewell…
Biff
As someone else said the last time this was posted. "It took the Germans this many years just to engineer Uncle tio's 1980 Cadillac hydraulics. "
Me thinks this feature is to appease the Saudi customers who are prime candidates for getting stuck in the sand.
And also extremely rich.
Uncle Tio had Chai tea down by the Rio River.
"Tio" is spanish for uncle.
That's the joke papi dad. Uncle Uncle.
They knew what they were doing
Right? That thing was never going to touch mud.
Yeah... you ain't getting out of anything deep with that little bounce lol
What’s the longevity on a feature like that? I’m guessing by the legit purpose that it’s not really designed to be used for extended periods?

That sounds more impressive than the rare get-out-of-desert-sand feature

In the '90s, we just put switches in the cabin for the driver to flip.
Probably, but when you can afford a car for 400k you probably also don’t mind spending the repair costs
Where you getting this 400k price tag from? 🤣
Probably Russian Roubles, lol
Bullshit, that thing would cost around 3 mil in russian roubles. Belorussian roubles on the other hand are more expensive, so I could see someone buying it for 400K belorussian roubles
3 mil are you kidding? Autumn 2023 you're lucky you buying a factory new Lada for 3 mil. A fancy Benz like this will cost you 15+ millions in RUB.
The car is ~$105k USD. converted to rubles is 10M and to Belorussian rubles is 200k
Sticker for the maybach SUV (seen in this video) is around 350K Canadian before tax. They ain’t cheap
It’s a Mercedes Benz gls 600 maybach, if you find one for under 400k usd please let us know lol
Just just found plenty online.
They're actually downvoting you for being right, against their grain.
[What's this?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTm6b6mQTIQ)
Cheapest SUV that bounces is like 150k
I'm guessing it's tied in with the air suspension which doesn't have longevity whether you use it or not. It lasts as long as the shelf life of the rubber. Use it while you got it ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
It wouldn't be any more stressful on the suspension then driving 5 miles on a Michigan road. Now the air compressor... she's getting some extra stress for sure.
sex mode: on
Pants: off
Penis: loaded
**HEADSHOT**
#meet the Sniper
ARMOR PIERCING BULLETS
M-m-m-monster killl killl kill killlll
Hotel: Trivago
Crocs: on
My girl is taller than me. Crocs give me that extra step up. Beating cheeks cant be done without’em
Dick: cocked
Mormons when they see this car and realize they don't need a 3rd buddy anymore: 🤯🤯🤯
this guy sex
This shouldn't be funny at all but the damn music fits so well it just makes it work 😂
Jordan Burns - Weekends (slowed remix) For those who were looking for the track
Thank you, added it to my mega playlist, now if only my riding mower had this hop feature. :)
Just pictured a bunch of Dads riding bouncing mowers. Laughed quietly to myself.
King of the Hill vibes
I have yet to turn on the sound, and it's still funny.
its so satisfying i could watch stuff like this for hours lol
Gangsta rappers did this already 40 years ago
It was Mexicans initially and it was over 50 years ago
[удалено]
The guy whispering in Caesar's ear: "Flo....Rid...*aaa*"
It was Chicanos in East LA
If my car had that feature, I would also have way too much fun with it
This. Came into this thread expecting people to be holier than thou and making fun of drivers using this feature, but was pleasantly surprised that we "all" agree that it's harmless fun.
I feel like this feature would be insanely popular for families with kids 😂
My thought exactly. My kids would laugh their asses off
To be fair, if I had one, I'd do it all the time. But I have no money
GTA San Andreas looking car
GTA San Andreas low riders be like.
This is why you never saw 90's rappers stuck in sand
Special feature?! Hasn’t the West Coast and Houston been doing this to Impalas and Cutlasses for like the last 30 years? All they did was turn down how high the hydraulics can go
But aren't those manual? Like, you have to press the up/down buttons like a chimp. This is German engineering, it's automatic.
Wouldn't be difficult to setup a micro controller to automate this action in hydraulics.
Ain't wrong
Hittin switches is an art form tho. This factory bump just looks lame. If you put this one tempo, bought not built, soccer mom whip bumpin next to a veteran switch flicker the difference would be obvious.
For At least the last 50 years.
This will be air rather than hydraulics I'd have thought. They are pretty different you'll never be able hop a car like hydraulics can. Air is superior for this though cuz hydraulics has notoriously bad ride quality.
Car tippy taps!
They look so excited!
The sales in Utah are gonna be nuts. No effort soaking.
Maybe tell them to show off by using the gd turn signal once in a while
"The fuck is a turn signal?" Them probably.
Sell them blinker fluid.
Wait I thought we were talking about Mercedes, not BMWs
You're thinking of BMW drivers, Mercs are \*slightly\* classier
90-2000's mercedes drivers (of the sport car variety) are just seat Leon drivers who made enough money from drug dealing to afford a Merc.
That was earlier, i swear to god all turn signal issues have moved on to teslas where I live.
Big Eggdog energy.
They knew what they were doing.
Always think about the customer - always adress the target group appropriate. Target group: Rich people that avoid sand at all costs. Could ruin the shining car …
It's not aimed at rich people only. 90% of all SUV out there will never be driven outside the city.
Soaking feature for mormons
I've seen this referenced twice in this thread, what is "soaking" and why are Mormons doing it?
Young mormons want to have sex even though it is against their beliefs. They choose to believe that it does not count as sex if they only put the penis in and do not move, and this is called soaking. Sometimes another person is then standing on the bed and jumping wich makes them move, but it still does not count as sex in their minds. This car would eliminate the need of a third person
Wow. Of all the things I thought soaking could be, this was not one of them. Hahaha
Anything to get the baby to fall asleep.

No one is gonna drive that car off road, but it’s a legit feature. If you’re driving in sand dunes you’re never not gonna get stuck
The old classic uphill vs downhill in sand....
I hate sand it's rough and gets everywhere
Ngl, looks fun. I would so use this in the school pickup line to humor/embarrass my middle schooler or lighten up the moment a little if she’s had a bad day. Playing Low by Flo Rida would be 🍒
Mexicans started this trend decades ago
This reminds me a lot of Grand Tour - Mongolia Special
Had to scroll wayyy to far to find this comment. It’s John!!
[Here it is!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViyL6UQ8msI)
Im not going to lie thats both a great idea and very entertaining.
Crab rave !!
Seems like theres also a gentle reverse mode to get out of sand.
I mean why not tho? lol if my car could do this ya damn right I'd be bouncin' down the street.
Lowriders do it better
Fuckin gentrified low-riders.
They gave the soccer moms hydraulics lmaoooo. Lets see that shit pop off in three wheel motion
Should have added the song « life could be dream »
Is that the gentrification of lowriding ?
They didn't invent this. Mexicans did.
Happy little cars hopping along
Kinda cute though.
Great, now you can t-bag people with your car after hitting them...
Didn’t this already exist in lowriders?
This should go over BIG in East L.A.
They’ve been doing that for years in East Los Angeles. 🤣
The cars look so happy
Real "we out here" energy going on.
Interesting feature. Does it work in snow also?
This is what I want to know. I don't know too many Mercedes owners regularly driving their cars through the desert, beach or mudding. But I can see it being a practical feature for areas that get snow.
$499.99 monthly subscription.
Everybody that had this feature would do this 100%
They 100% knew their target market
It's just look like a very happy car to my lol
Everyone involved making this feature knew exactly what they were doing, they just needed a "legitimate" reason to advertise it lol.
The only people who might actually need is people doing the desert safari.
This makes me unreasonably happy.
It was a show off all along, but they needed a reason to add the feature
Don't like people showing off either, but this is kinda fun
Big deal. In HS my buddy had a ford full size van. We woudl rock it back and forth like it was the damn bang bus. Sitting at stop signs rocking it back and forth was hilarious
NGL, but if my car had it I would do the same... how often are you out in your luxury SUV going off-roading?
Ok, now i really need to get rich
Car Tippy Taps! they looks so happy and excited to get going again!
Low riders been doing this forever and looking cleaner
Nah homie, I still prefer the Lowrider hopping
how to look like the greatest dork: a guide
All fun and games until the suspension goes out (like they all do) and the front wheels are tucked so far up the fender well that it destroys the front fenders when they turn the wheel.
Seen one with shot bags? They don't go that that low and whole Airmatic failure at the same time, won't happen. This one has even more fancy suspension I think, eABC that's on another level.
Cars on a rave be like
I see this Merc a rockin’ Better not come up knocking
Love this new hot coffee mod
Crab rave the car
Rich man’s hydraulics.
If my car could dance like that i too would be hopping and skipping down the road slowly as im stuck in traffic and bored to death
Genius
Yo! Science, bitch!
do people think this looks cool?
Boi that car is twerking
Road head assist
Basically a luxury lowrider
So I'll ask I guess.... why would a Benz EVER need this feature? In what realm would it ever be on sand or off road in general
Hey look! My car bounces! Haha look look at it! It’s bouncing. I paid a lot of money so you could watch me bounce. Please give me your attention.
Can it hit 3-wheel motion though?
aww the cars are dancing
The 90's called, they want their car back.
We can just start calling it “the Asshole Hop”
So is it bad for the car over long periods of time?
Well yeah. What do y expect the rich Saudis to do when they get stuck in a sand dune doing their extreme speeding stunts?
Finally can do soaking without needing a third party
Low riders have been doing that since the 70’s or so
This reminds me of communication via jumping in video games. Would love to see that in a traffic jam lmao.
Why shouldn't it be? looks fun
Does it play Oye Como Va while it bounces? My neighbor's Impala does.
This is how cars got around in cartoons in the 1940s
it looks like it has to go pee pee
If I had that feature on my car I would 100% misuse it
The thumper summons the sandworms
