Porsche brakes are renowned for their stopping power, setting the standards for deceleration and stability. They are designed to cope with extreme forces such as those experienced during hard braking.

The brake calipers have a monobloc aluminium construction. This makes them tough but light and enables a rapid response and release of the brake. The pedal travel is short and easy to modulate.

On the 911 Carrera models, the front and rear axles are host to a new generation of brakes with anodised black, four-piston aluminium monobloc calipers. The brake calipers are now even stiffer thanks to their closed-type design. The brake disc diameters are larger: 330 mm front and rear and the rear brake discs are 4 mm thicker – for even better braking performance.

The S models have four-piston aluminium monobloc calipers that are larger, reinforced and have a striking red painted finish. The front axle has larger brake pads and thicker brake discs.

All models have cross-drilled brake discs ensuring optimum braking in the wet. The discs are internally vented for rapid heat dispersal.

Other features include a powerful 10-inch brake booster for reducing pedal effort in the rear-drive models and integral air spoilers for enhanced air flow in the brake cooling ducts.

For even better braking performance with braking force support, a 9-inch tandem brake force amplifier is used on the all-wheel drive models.
