PASSIVE SAFETY
The load-bearing body enhances the safety of the Maserati GranTurismo; furthermore, the application of the latest constructional technologies makes it possible to optimise the dynamic weight and
performance: the structural part of the body is made of steel, the bonnet and front strut of the bumper are made of aluminium, while the boot lid, made using Sheet Moduling Compound technology,
helps keep the weight of the car down.
The
six airbag system
on the Maserati GranTurismo has four individual sensors in the front and sides of the car, and on a control unit located near the central tunnel.
Thanks to the sensors of the two front airbags (both dual-stage), the inflation is always directly proportional to the force of the impact.
A long series of simulations and tests guarantee that the activation of the airbags meets the strictest regulations and always offers the maximum protection for the people in the car.
The Maserati GranTurismo also has two
side airbags integrated in the front seats and two curtain-bags integrated in the door panels, to guarantee the maximum safety for front seat passengers
in the case of lateral impact.
Both the front and rear
seatbelts
have electronically controlled pyrotechnic pretensioners and latest generation load limiters, to help keep passengers in their seats even in the case of a particularly
violent impact. The seatbelt fastened sensor lets the control unit assess the severity of the collision on the basis of whether the seatbelts are fastened or not, and inflates the front airbags accordingly,
in terms of rapidity of intervention and inflation pressure.
Furthermore, the rear
Isofix attachments
offer secure fastenings for children’s seats, guaranteeing optimal protection for smaller passengers.
