Porsche offers its customers the option of a brake system which has already stood up to the most stringent tests in motor racing: the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB). The ceramic brake discs are not only much harder than cast iron, they are also more resistant to heat. The crucial advantage of the ceramic brake system is the extremely low weight of the brake discs. The result: better performance, less consumption, reduced unsprung weight and fewer rotating masses. This results in improved grip and enhanced driving and tyre comfort, particularly on uneven roads. http://www.porsche.com/dna/
