Motorsport is the ultimate test of braking performance. On request, we can provide you with a brake system that has already had to cope with the harshest requirements of motorsport – a brake system fitted in the cars competing in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, for example: the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB).

The ceramic discs have a diameter of 350 mm front and rear. The discs are made from a specially treated carbon-fibre compound that is silicated in a high-vacuum process at 1,700 °C. The resulting material is not only much harder than metal, it is also more resistant to heat.

Even at high temperatures, the thermal resistance of the PCCB discs ensures excellent dimensional stability. The ceramic material is totally resistant to corrosion and offers excellent acoustic damping properties.

The pads are mounted in six-piston monobloc aluminium fixed calipers at the front, with four-piston units at the rear. The resulting brake forces are both extremely high and remarkably consistent. The pedal response is fast and precise with only moderate input required.

PCCB enables shorter braking distances in even the toughest road and race conditions. Excellent fade resistance ensures greater balance when slowing from racetrack speeds.

The key advantage of PCCB is the total weight saving of approximately 50% over metal discs with similar construction and dimensions. As well as enhancing performance and fuel economy, this represents a major reduction in both the unsprung and rotating masses. This, of course, offers major benefits in terms of comfort and road holding on uneven road surfaces as well as general handling and agility.

Please note that circuit racing, trackday use and other forms of performance driving can significantly reduce the service life of even the most durable pads and discs. As with conventional high performance braking systems, we recommend that all brake components be professionally inspected and replaced where necessary after every track event.
