Most fast car descriptions include stuff like 0 to 60 in 4 seconds.But what is the fastest braking car and in what time does it go from 200 mph to a full stop?Also, which car has the most reliable braking system?
Brake systems are pretty much all alike! It is the overall balance of the vehicle and its suspension that has a lot to do with how well a car brakes. Lately there have been advancements in materials used and these materials can be installed in any car.
the veyron probably has the best braking system in road cars. F1 though are the best in the world at braking. according to the website the veyron can do 400kph to 0 in less than 10 seconds. being a very heavy car with a ton of speed behind it, the veyron needs (and has) huge carbon ceramic brakes. combined with the large wing that raised to produce air drag as much as a regular car's brakes, the veyron it probably the best at slowing down. an F1 car can do 200 kph to 0 in about 2 seconds. the most reliable braking system would be a very powerful one with ventilated carbon ceramic rotors. this is because under regular braking a powerful system wont have to work hard and when you do have to brake a lot, the carbon ceramic discs maintain their effectiveness much longer than other materials. to give you an idea of how much better an F1 car can brake than a road car, its said that a veyron can produce 1.3Gs of braking force (1.3 times the acceleration of gravity on earth but backwards making you slow down). a Formula 1 on a fast circuit can produce upwards of 5Gs. (the huge wings that push the car into the track give the tires a huge amount of traction letting the brakes be able to bite down harder without skidding.)
