Saw one today, saw a few last month too. Seem to be as common around here as a Porsche 911 turbo etc.. They're relatively cheap too, right?

Dampers have ferrous particles in them that align when subjected to a magnetic field, firming up the suspension for spirited driving.

There was one at the Audi Driving Experience in Val d'Isere when I was out there. I think you could go out in a ride in it. On a frozen lake.

The reason why you are seeing a lot of them now is because they were advertised about a year ago, people ordered them off of pictures and they are being delivered now.
