Abstract

A motor vehicle, especially a convertible, includes a torsion stabilizer unit including a hydraulic actuator unit. The hydraulic actuator unit may be designed as a flexible hose actuator unit or tube actuator unit through which a hydraulic medium flows. The motor vehicle further includes a control unit to actively control the length of the hose actuator unit to counteract sensed torsion of the body of the motor vehicle.
