What is Maserati Skyhook suspension?
Maserati’s Skyhook Suspension system performs anti-dive, anti-squat and anti-roll movements. The anti-squat algorithm ensures that the rear of the vehicle does not pitch down when accelerating, and the anti-roll function keeps the car upright in fast cornering situations or on excessively irregular roads.
How do I know if I have Skyhook suspension?
Look at the shock body. If it is threaded with and adjustable spring perch then it is a skyhook car.. or a one in a billion chance that someone put KW coil overs on a non skyhook…
How does Maserati Skyhook work?
The system uses sensors that monitor the movement of each wheel and the car’s body to determine the road conditions and how the car is being driven. It then instantly adjusts the settings of each damper accordingly.
What is Skyhook damping?
Skyhook theory is that the ideal suspension would let the vehicle maintain a stable posture as if suspended by an imaginary hook in the sky, unaffected by road conditions. A vehicle contacts the ground through the spring and damper in a normal spring damper suspension, as in Figure 1.
Does Maserati have air suspension?

What suspension do F1 cars use?
In some racing categories like F1, cars use torsion bars (above) rather than shock-damper systems to control the ride. When the suspension assembly rises in response to a kerb or a bump, the pushrod or pullrod puts the torsion bar under a twisting motion.
