As part of its mission to reduce fatalities and injuries, since model year 2001 NHTSA has included rollover information as part of its NCAP ratings. One of the primary means of assessing rollover risk is the static stability factor (SSF), a measurement of a vehicle’s resistance to rollover. The higher the SSF, the lower the rollover risk.

The glow of fine leather. It is the calm of a quiet cabin. And the thrill of a finely tuned engine at full song. It’s physicality informed by philosophy. The security of careful engineering and assembly. The satisfaction of well-thought details. The idea of elegance with intelligence.
