Reference Pagani: ABS and ESP control from Bosch

Above all else, ABS and ESP systems from Bosch ensure safety at the physical limits. Lars König and his team work on tailoring them to production sports cars and the corresponding driver requirements: “As a basis, we either take the standard production ESP or we develop new custom functions. When adapting the ESP, we keep fine-tuning the software until the driving characteristics suit the particular requirements of the racetrack and the technology truly becomes one with the sports car.” To this aim, the systems are adapted in such a way that they take a back seat for the driver. This way, system intervention even in critical situations remains unobtrusive: “An ESP system in a sports car is designed optimally once the driver no longer notices when it is active and when not.” Regulable in five stages, from comfortable to dynamic: one example of an application that has been implemented successfully by Bosch is the ABS and ESP control system for Pagani.
