New technology allows adjustments to virtually any vehicle setting

If a company going by the name of IFR Automotive rings a bell, it may just be because of its recently unveiled Aspid Sports Car, which combined an enclosed cockpit and composite materials with a classic Lotus Seven-style semi-open-wheeled layout. Now, the Spanish company says it is in the midst of developing a new technology for high-end sports cars that could give drivers the ability to finely tune almost every aspect of vehicle management without having to get their tool kits out – including the suspension settings, steering, ECU and throttle.

What IFR is referring to is not the sort of thing we’ve seen on BMW’s M5, where a number of settings such as ‘Comfort’, ‘Sport’, or ‘Track’ are given.
