Maserati GranTurismo Convertible: Maserati Standard Limited Slip Differential

Maserati equips the GranTurismo Convertible with a standard Limited Split Differential, a feature derived from the racing experience, and helps maximizing available tract ion under power. The Limited Slip Differential overcomes the tendency of a normal open differential to send all torque to one wheel with low grip, crating wheel spin. The Limited Slip Differential effectively locks the two rear wheels together and delivers power to each. The result is maximum acceleration, in both straight line driving as well as in cornering.

With the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) featured in the Maserati GranTurismo, the driver can easily apply the parking brake by using an electronic control located in the center console rather than a traditional mechanical lever. The EPB not only replaces the traditional handbrake but has also a dynamic safety function. In case of emergencies, it can be used when the car is moving: in this case, the system communicates with the stability control (MSP) and acts on the four wheels to obtain an immediate braking action (deceleration of 0.5g) without losing in stability until the control is released. This functionality has to be used only under extremely emergencies situations or when stopping the car with the brake pedal is not possible.

Quick and precise steering controls help improving comfort and safety on board and provide an enjoyable ride. By using an electronic variable system, the action of the power steering is adapted to the speed and road conditions, giving the driver a true feel for the road at higher speed as well as low speed maneuvering. The Maserati GranTurismo Convertible is equipped with standard rear parking sensors integrated into the rear bumper which, together with the (optional) front sensors, helps maneuvering when space is restricted. The instrument panel also shows color-coded symbols indicating distances to obstacles.

Through a set of dedicated sensors, the standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is designed to continuously check the tire pressure. The system displays the tire pressures in the instrument cluster and warns the driver if they drop below the minimum level of if there is a puncture. To make hill starts easier, the Maserati GranTurismo has a Hill Holder, a device which keeps the vehicle braked for just over one second on inclines greater than 12°. This feature allows the driver to move his or her foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator without the risk of having the car rolling back.
