    I'm surprised that no one else is able to add any other automotive technology advances for modern cars. This thread is disappointing.

    Realtime tire pressure sensors?

    Self-sealing/inflating tires/fuel tanks?

    Come on people!

    That's my question...

    I have a couple:
    1) TRACTION CONTROL (very important)
    2) CCM Brakes
    3) Diffusers

    So the STS SAE 100 isn't production right? The Koenigsegg CCX is (will be?) production and offers CF wheels.

    I read that the Ferrari suspension is actually sourced from Delphi, aka GM. The same source, Edmunds, reports recent Ferrari climate controls also come from Delphi.

    That Caddy STS 100th is really cool. It had tons of cool technology in it.

    The Enzo has this. You select the correct screen in theTFT display and it has a little picture of the car from above with the tyre pressures at each corner.

    What about runflats, I think they were first used by BM, not really sure.

    Oh and also the horizontally opposed suspension used in the Enzo?

    I'd like to add DSG gearbox from the VW group and Twincharger also grom VW group.

    DSG gearbox everyone knows already that it's just superb. As for the twincharger, it's used in the VW Golf 1.4 TSI, and it's a very clever system. It has a supercharger for low revs and switches over to turbo charger in high revs, this minimises lag and gets the best of both world. I think this could be the future in forced inductions.

    LED brake lights.

    Watch the video. First, the right and left parking lights come on. Then the brake pedal is depressed.

    At that point, the LEDs that comprise the high-mounted center brake light illuminate noticeably before the older brake light bulbs on the lower left and lower right.

    The brake pedal is released. Notice that the LEDs for the high-mounted center brake light turn off long before the older brake light bulbs on the lower left and lower right.

    The brake pedal is pressed again. The LEDs that comprise the high-mounted center brake light illuminate noticeably before the older brake light bulbs on the lower left and lower right.

    The brake pedal is finally released. Notice that the LEDs for the high-mounted center brake light turn off long before the older brake light bulbs on the lower left and lower right.

    Then the video restarts.
