VW Scirocco Factory Airbag Suspension?!
My dad said back in the day when he and his brother were buying and selling cars for fun, they came across a VW Scirocco with airbags for suspension vs coilovers. I find this hard to believe. Has anyone else ever heard of this blasphemy?!

Well some luxury cars have this, I thought Mercedes S-class has it as well..
Not really heard much about that, more than that trucks and buses have this |

I doubt it was stock. There are aftermarket air suspensions for them though.

I pictured a big rig trailer instantly, then I pictured air bags to lower, but airbags to corner seems genius! More pressure, harder compressions stiffer and better handling!
I agree it's aftermarket but would like to find out more! I love old school tuning! ITBs for the win! |

Land Rover Discovery, Range Rover.
Most luxury cars and 4x4s... I believe it was first attempted before World War 2, but I might be wrong. |

And then there is the hydropneumatic suspension which Citroën pioneered in the 1950's. Sort of in the same class as air bags.
