What Are The Sexiest Brakes?

[PranK]

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!

Strangely I have a fetish for brakes and tyres too, Chris.

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.

I had these on my golf r that I sold not long ago

From a Porsche Cayenne turbo with 345mm rotors

Ooh yes!

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

Holy crap, so good.

I love big brakes on cars that are unassuming.

Saw some old school alcons or something on a r31 on the weekend, great combo

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.

The ultra-light design does look a little weird.
