Skyhook Sport Suspens ion Maseratis are renowned for their roadholding and handling, and these are two areas in which the GranCabrio Sport excels, thanks largely to its innovative suspension system. When the driver presses the ‘Sport’ button on the dashboard, the car’s character is transformed as it switches to a more sporty set-up that has been specially developed to enhance its roadholding abilities.The dampers used in the Skyhook suspension have aluminium bodies and provide a constantly variable damping action. The system is controlled by an ECU that receives data from the acceleration sensors on each wheel and the chassis. It instantly processes the information and identifies the driving style, as well as the road surface conditions.The proportional valves installed in each of the dampers then allow the software to regulate their set-up in response to the prevailing conditions. Braking System The GranCabrio Sport is equipped with a powerful braking system.The four ventilated discs are machined with four slots and sixteen blind holes around the perimeter, which reduce stopping distances and make the braking performance more constant in the long term.The slots help keep the brake pads clean and free from dust, and also break up the flow of water in the rain. Meanwhile the extra holes disperse the heat and ensure that the pads wear in a uniform manner.
