Active Bonnet System
C6 innovation shines yet again with the active bonnet system. The new C6 is the first car to be awarded the maximum four stars for pedestrian protection by Euro NCAP. This is a major step forward in terms of pedestrian safety.
The active bonnet system uses fibre-optic detection that raises the bonnet within 1/100th of a second, creating a space between the bonnet and the mechanical components underneath, absorbing the majority of pedestrian impact energy and massively reducing the risk of head injuries.
