Nothing new.. the system has been around since 1997. The "Magnetic Ride Select" crap is for the Starbucks crowd.. and the most import piece of info though, is that the fastest lap times and 1/4 miles are set with the systems disabled (that includes pulling the ABS fuse)

The Veyron is not a "drivers" car.. it is the physical embodiment of the PlayStation console
