Enhanced Driver Interface
EDI is the centre piece of E3. Never before has the driving enthusiast been able to engage with their vehicle on this level. EDI connects with the on-board computer to constantly stream real-time vehicle dynamics and performance data to the touch screen display.

With the touch of your finger EDI will allow you to display real time performance data such as vehicle G-forces, Power & Torque, and Lap-times. You can also access your vehicle settings including the optional SBZA system and optional Bi-Modal exhaust. If this is not enough, the real enthusiast can even download their track day data and analyse their performance using the MOTEC i2 software provided.

Safety
Anti Lock Bracking
ABS
Reduces wheel lock under heavy braking situations by momentarily releasing brake pressure at the wheels required. This improves stopping distances on most surfaces, improves braking efficiency and enables better steering in demanding braking conditions.
Enhanced Stability Control
ESC
Exclusively calibrated by HSV, ESC monitors steering wheel angle and speed to make turning and corners safer. If skidding occurs, ESC activates to apply brake pressure to individual wheels and, if necessary, reduces engine power.
Brake Assist
EBA
In emergency braking situations few people apply the required pressure to the brake pedal. EBA activates to optimise the maximum brake pressure performance.
