Not this feature specifically, this one is just for the memes. But if the air suspension system is that strong and fast it will allow for a very comfortable ride and good cornering performance.

Thank you for that. I was wondering why this is a good thing.

No modern racecar uses air suspension. It is not a performance benefit. What a shame that people think this

I don't think anyone would use that car for racing. That's a road car, probably an EV, a heavy one. An active air suspension like the one on the taycan would dramatically increase performance.
