firedemon101's video: Euro NCAP Maserati Ghibli 2013 Crash test

Adult occupant The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal impact. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger. Maserati showed that a similar level of protection would be available to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. In the side barrier test, the Ghibli scored maximum points, with good protection of all body regions. Even in the more severe side pole impact, protection of the chest was adequate and that of other body regions was good. The front seats and head restraints provided protection against whiplash injuries that was rated as marginal. Child occupant Both the 1½ and 3 year dummies were sat in rearward-facing seats, according to Maserati's recommendation. Based on the dummy readings from the dynamic tests, the car scored maximum points for its protection of both infants. In the side impact, both dummies were properly contained within the protective shells of their restraints, minimising the likelihood of head contact with parts of the vehicle interior. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. However, information provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag is not sufficiently clear. The risks of using a rearward-facing seat in the front passenger seat without first disabling the airbag are not permanently indicated in the car. All of the child restraint types for which the car is designed could be properly installed and accommodated. Pedestrian The bumper scored maximum points for its protection of pedestrians' legs, with good results in all areas tested. The front edge of the bonnet also scored maximum points in Euro NCAP's tests. The bonnet provided protection to the head that was largely good or adequate, with poor results recorded at the base of the windscreen and along the stiff windscreen pillars. Safety assist The Ghibli has electronic stability control as standard equipment, and met Euro NCAP's test requirements. A seatbelt reminder is provided for the front and rear seats. A driver-set speed limitater is available and met Euro NCAP's requirements for systems of that type.
