D1.01 Technical specifications
Brake system
390 mm x 36 mm carbon-ceramic front disc with 4-piston aluminium calliper
350 mm x 32 mm carbon-ceramic rear disc with 4-piston aluminium calliper
148 T4300 pads (front)
77 S600 pads (rear)
Electric parking brake (EPB)
Can be inserted and removed using a control on the dashboard.
Differentiated release of callipers/pads at vehicle start (AVH function). This guarantees optimum release
dynamics.
Automatic activation at engine cut-off (AUTOHOLD function) with the option to disable automatic activation
using the AUTOPARK button incorporated into the EPB control.
Stability and Traction Control (CST)
The CST consists of two primary systems:
CST also consists of a number of secondary systems, such as ABS, EBD etc., which are active at all times.
F1-Trac is quicker and more precise than a conventional traction control system and delays and minimises the
engine torque corrections necessary to maintain the desired trajectory.
The system is self-adaptive and calculates the maximum grip available by constantly monitoring the relative
speeds of the wheels.
F1-Trac correlates real data against a vehicle dynamics model stored in the control system and optimises the
behaviour of the vehicle by controlling engine torque delivery.
F1-Trac is not active with the Manettino turned to "CST off".
VDC : vehicle dynamics control through the brake system and engine torque;
F1-Trac : traction control, which functions by modulating engine torque in relation to maximum road grip.
Suspension
New double-wishbone front suspension, including a hollow torsion bar to reduce roll, leading to a subsequent
increase in driving comfort.
New rear Multilink suspension. The Multilink layout means that the suspension has greater flexibility lengthwise
(for greater comfort) while maintaining the same transversal rigidity values as a conventional layout (the
same handling).
