lol at the Topgear comment, "It should be more driveable than Corvettes of old, thanks to a Magnetic Selective Ride Control system, which works in a similar fashion to the Audi TT's magnetorheologic suspension - electronically controlled shocks are filled with fluid that reacts to magnetic charges for near-instant damper adjustment."
This system was put in the C5's a few years back and the Corvette was the first production car to ever use it - it wasn't Audi's idea. In fact, as far as I know, this was first developed by GM for the Corvette, although nowadays Ferrari use it in the F599 as well as Audi et al.
