PranK Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I love brakes. I think they are, hands down, the best looking part of a car. I particularly like the brakes on Porsches. The Turbo S carbon ceramic brakes are sensational to look at. But recently, the S63/5 AMG 'Benz brakes caught my eye. I'm not sure if I love them more, but I do love them a lot. I also found an eBay auction for a set - $4500 USD. Perfect for a diesel Passat. Post your fave brake pics! 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/462906-what-are-the-sexiest-brakes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiRS4T Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 To me the Porsche rotors say " I am covered in fine cracks and perforated with holes - I am about to break apart soon"!! I like the $23,000 Audi brakes but not a fan of drilled rotors. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/462906-what-are-the-sexiest-brakes/#findComment-7683291 Share on other sites More sharing options...

niZmO_Man Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I like big brakes and I cannot lie. Porsche seem to make some good ones. Although AMG aren't looking either. Not a fan of the drilled rotors though And then there's Bentley 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/462906-what-are-the-sexiest-brakes/#findComment-7683663 Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackrex Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 The drilled holes on the carbon/ceramics are totally different to drilled holes in cast iron (CI) disks. They do not create the stress risers that are prevalent with CI, and are needed for out gassing reasons that would normally be handled by slotting the rotors on a CI disk. if you look at the disks used in the WEC and F1, you will see that they also have holes drilled in the friction surfaces as well, for this reason.
