Safety
|
- Constructed using advanced aerospace techniques;
the lightweight aluminum bodyshell is strong and rigid - delivering faster acceleration, more precise handling, shorter stopping distances and greater fuel efficiency
- Adaptive dynamics system monitors body and wheel movements and constantly adjusts roll and pitch ratios
and wheel damping settings for the best balance of ride comfort and handling precision
- Dynamic stability control combines the normal on-off switchable DSC function, which is designed to react as soon as it detects slip, with Trac DSC, which allows
more slip before intervening for a more sporting
driving experience
- Active differential control for superior asphalt and
loose surface traction and better preformance. It is fully automated, and can vary locking torque dependent on the prevailing surface conditions to help improve stability. ADC is integrated with traction control and ABS, further improving overall vehicle performance
- Xenon headlights with LED signature lights and power washers
- Adaptive front lighting and intelligent high beam (standard on supercharged models)
- Blind spot monitoring
- Front parking aid
- Driver and front passenger airbags, side monted airbags and full side curtain dual stage airbags

- Front and rear double wishbone suspension, with forged aluminum arms and hubs, features ‘anti-dive’ and ‘anti-squat’ geometry. This prevents the front end dipping under braking and the rear end squatting under acceleration
- Maserati Stability Program has been specifically design by Maserati to help improve safety and works by integrating the following systems:
- Antilock Braking System
- Electronic Brake Force Distribution
- Automatic Slip Reduction
All systems act on the brakes and engine to help enhance the driver's control in critical situations
- Brembo brakes (S model only)
- Additional stiffening of the suspension by 30% at the front and 10% at the rear, together with a ride height reduction of 10 mm in the front and 25 mm in the rear, provides a substantial reduction in load transfers and more effective traction during direction changes. (Sport GT model)
- Xenon headlights with Adaptive Light Control System that automatically tracks the movements of the steering wheel so that the beam points to the inside of the curve
- Rear parking sensors
