More on Landrover ACE system - from Atlanta Journal Constitution

The neatest part of the Series II is an optional system called ACE, for Active Cornering Enhancement.

You know how sport utilities, because of their tall profile, tend to lean in turns and curves? A lot of drivers and riders find this unsettling.

Working via a computer connected to sensors in the four body pillars of the Series II, ACE reduces and, in some cases, eliminates that lean. The computer works via hydraulic lines connected to front and rear piston/levers to actively counter the lateral tilt of the vehicle body -- up to a point.

It's amazing how different the ride and stability can be in an ACE vs. non-ACE Discovery. Some riders prone to carsickness might do quite well in an ACE-equipped vehicle. The lack of sway is that palpable.

Also at Land Rover, there's a new active suspension
-------------------------
One could almost substitute COAST for ACE in this article except for one important distinction. ACE is actually being used.
