maserati stabi l ity Programme (msP) If the car begins to oversteer or understeer, the Maserati Stability Programme (MSP) is on hand to correct the situation. It does this by reducing torque from the engine and activating the brakes, stabilising the car within milliseconds.The ABS system prevents the wheels from locking while braking, allowing the driver to steer the car and maintain control. EBD then distributes the braking force optimally between the front and rear axles.when the Sport mode button is pressed, the action of the MSP is altered to allow more sporty handling – but without com- promising safety.The cut-in threshold is moved upwards and the system concentrates primarily on activating the brakes rather than reducing engine power. Given its enhanced power and handling potential, the GranCabrio Sport has uprated MSP settings to maximise the thrilling driving experience. Note that MSP is not a failsafe device and will not prevent accidents in extreme circumstances; the ultimate safety of the car always rests with the driver.
