Question:

What is this thing in the wheel department?

R8 on the Internet to see this, do not know what: later in the district to see a Cayenne also have, what is this? It is best to have a detailed introduction.

Answer:

Followed by a silver brake caliper, a silver brake caliper can be said to be an upgraded version of the black brake caliper, generally used in the upgraded version of the entry-level models, such as Boxster and Cayenne. At the same time, in the middle level models will be slightly seen, such as the 911 series Carrera entry-level models.
First of all, the black brake calipers are the most common, generally used in Porsche entry-level models, such as Boxster, and Cayenne's primary version.
Porsche has a total of four colors of the brake calipers: black, silver, red and yellow. Its corresponding brake disc level is followed from low to high.
Finally, if you see Porsche with a yellow caliper, then you can try to buy a lottery ticket, and maybe your good luck will make you win, because what you see is a very rare top sports car. Yellow, is the Porsche PCCB composite ceramic brake system dedicated color. For example, in the Cayman S models on the optional yellow clamp ceramic brake disc diameter of a full 350mm, the devil's braking performance can be imagined. Moreover, only the Carrera GT, Cayenne optional and 911 series GT3 such top sports car, was equipped with a yellow brake calipers and ceramic brakes supporting the braking system.
Then the red brake calipers. Porsche's red brake calipers are actually made by BREMBO, but on the surface of the Porsche logo. In contrast, the red brake caliper is a new brake system, its main feature is to increase the size of the brake disc. To Cayman, for example, its black front brake disc diameter is 299mm. But its sports version of the Cayman S comes standard with a red caliper brake system, the front brake disc diameter is increased to 318mm. In the Porsche medium, like Cayenne S, Carrera S, red brake calipers are more common.
