4. INTRODUCTION TO
HIGH PERFORMANCE BRAKING
• To the streets, on the highway and even racing tracks all high
performance vehicles requires high performance braking for
uncompromising safety and stopping power which BMW, Mercedes-
Benz and Porsche offers.
• Because Brakes are the most crucial part of safety of any moving
vehicle
• Standard Braking is not good enough for high speed stopping
• It must stop well in all road conditions( WET or ICY)
• In racing Brakes they must not “Fade or fall on in performance under
the extreme heat of braking. Must not overheat.
• High Performance Brakes must have good durability
• Brake Rotors must be made with high quality materials
• High Performance Braking must be able to dissipate heat fast after
series of braking and depends on brake disk design whether it can cool
heat quickly Standard Disk VS Carbon Ceramic Disk
• Who does it better? PORSCHE BMW or MERCEDES-BENZ ? ? ?

BRAKING SYSTEM
DESIGNED AND CREATED BY LUCAS TAN

6. BMW M PERFORMANCE BRAKING SYSTEM
• The new standard brake pads of BMW M3 and BMW M4 is that fixed-caliper brakes are now
fitted to the front and rear axles, with four pistons at the front and two at the rear.
• “Sport Pad” vs “M Carbon Ceramic”
• M carbon ceramic brake disc deploys a six-piston caliper on the front axle and a four-piston
fixed-calliper brake on the rear axle.
• M carbon ceramic brakes are around 12.5 kg lighter compared with standard M compound
brakes and offers much better performance includes stability
• The disc is not so susceptible to corrosion, which means that no rust films form on the friction
ring, a phenomenon that is well known in grey-cast constructions. It does not occur with M
carbon ceramic brakes, since they do not have a problem with corrosion.
• Material-specific properties mean that increased operational noise may be experienced when
braking, particularly in wet conditions, just before the vehicle comes to a halt. However, this
does not affect the brakes’ performance, operational safety or stability.
• Lighter brakes means lower unsprung mass and consequently, better acceleration and
handling. Not to forget, with carbon ceramics, you won’t have to worry about the brake dust or
corrosion of discs either.

ADAPTIVE BRAKE HIGH-PERFORMANCE
BRAKING SYSTEM

9. MERCEDES AMG ADAPTIVE BRAKE HIGH-
PERFORMANCE BRAKING SYSTEM
• the AMG high-performance braking system continues to set the benchmark for stopping power, sensitivity and fade
resistance.
• The front axle features a double floating brake caliper and this technology combines the advantages of a sliding-caliper disc
brake reducing heat transfer to the brake fluid and clear advantages in terms of comfort thanks to the brake lining guide
mechanism with the efficiency of an extra large fixed caliper brake. At the rear, braking is handled by a large sliding frame-
type caliper respectively ensure the shortest stopping distances, remarkable resistance to fading and outstanding sensitivity.
• ADAPTIVE BRAKE increases the pressure in the brake lines and applies the pads to the brake discs, so that they can grip
instantly with full force when the brake pedal is pressed.
• The hydraulic dual-circuit braking system is controlled electronically, permitting the inclusion of numerous driver assistance
functions that improve safety and comfort.
• In wet weather, the system injects regular, short brake impulses to ensure that the film of water on the brake discs is wiped off
and the brakes can work as effectively as possible.
• ADAPTIVE BRAKE prevents the car from rolling forward inadvertently when stopped at traffic lights or stuck in stop-and-go
traffic, and from rolling back when facing a slope.
• The AMG high-performance composite brakes all-round ensure extremely short stopping distances even under enormous
loads. The newly developed, optional ceramic composite brakes with larger brake discs guarantee even better brake
performance and lower unsprung masses. The ceramic brake discs will perform reliably at even higher operating temperatures
thanks to their greater hardness, all combined with an impressive weight reduction of around 40 percent.

12. PORSCHE HIGH PERFORMANCE
BRAKING SYSTEM
• Porsche Engineering offers active safety in everything to do with brakes and brake systems.
• 911 Carrera and 718 base models are fitted with newly developed four-piston aluminum monobloc
fixed calipers with a black anodized finish, red finish or yellow finish. All brake discs have a diameter of
330 mm. They are light and resistant to deformation. The brake discs are cross drilled and internally
vented, which helps to provide improved wet braking and optimum cooling.
• Cayenne models are fitted with new Porsche Surface Coated Brake the unique combination of a cast-
iron brake disc and a ceramic coating (tungsten carbide). It has better responsiveness and particular
high fading stability. Thanks to new surface coating, the brake disc remains glossy even after a long
service life.
• Panamera models are equipped with six-piston aluminum monobloc fixed brake calipers at the front
and four-piston equivalents at the rear. Brake discs are internally vented and slotted. This improves
braking behavior even under extreme conditions and heat is dissipated more effectively. The one-piece
brake calipers have an enclosed construction. This makes them lighter yet highly resistant to
deformation.
• The S models are equipped with red six piston aluminum monobloc fixed brake calipers at the front and
four-piston equivalents at the rear. The brake chambers at the front axle are now made from aluminum.
Brake disc diameters are 350 mm at the front, 330 mm at the rear. For enhanced stability and braking
performance.
• On all models, the brake calipers have an enclosed monobloc construction. This makes them tougher
but lightweight and enables a more rapid response and release of the brake even under extreme loads.
The pedal travel is short and the biting point precise. The brake discs are cross-drilled for improved wet
braking and optimum cooling.

BRAKING(PCCB)
• Proven in motorsport, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB) is available as an option. PCCB features six-piston
aluminum monobloc fixed brake calipers on the front axle and
four-piston units at the rear – all painted in yellow – to provide
braking forces that are considerably more powerful and,
crucially, are exceptionally consistent.
• New Panamera models are fitted with 10-piston aluminum
monobloc fixed brake calipers on the front axle and four piston
units at the rear.
• PCCB enables shorter braking distances in even toughest road
and race conditions. Safety under high-speed braking is also
improved thanks to its excellent fade resistance.
• Better road holding and increased comfort, particular on
uneven roads as well greater agility and a further improvement
in handling
• 50% lighter than standard discs of a similar design and size.

17. CONCLUSION
• All of them offers high stopping power with their Carbon
Composite Ceramic Brakes but each have different stopping
distances. Which means “Uncompromising Safety” is guaranteed.
• Carbon Ceramic Brakes are much more effective and durable than
Standard Disk Brakes
• Amount Of Brake Pistons in Brake Calipers determine stopping
power and distance.
• At high temperatures, carbon ceramic materials are also less
resistant to deformation or warping, which means that they should
last a bit longer than traditional brakes. Finally, carbon ceramic
brakes don’t corrode, even when in contact with water or salt
during the winter seasons.
• Mercedes and Porsche has unique braking technology such as
braking efficiency and unique brake discs design than BMW
