Brembo Racing - Ultimate Braking
Together with its unique know-how in the manufacturing of braking systems for high performance vehicles, Brembo is able to guarantee top quality standards and the most advanced technological knowledge, making it a world market leader in its sector. Brembo is the natural choice for use in the most sophisticated sports vehicles and high-class saloon cars. Its skill ensures an unsurpassable performance level in the best cars produced in Europe, the USA and Japan today. It is distinguished by its vertical integration of the production process, embracing all the work phases and making the company the ideal partner for those who seek "state of the art" brake discs. Brembo use its own foundries in the industrial process, whereby bringing a thorough knowledge of metallurgy to its design know-how for the braking system components - a further synergy in the optimization of the production cycle. The research and development phase is flanked by the testing phase, with static comfort tests, on the road tests and dynamic tests on the test benches, finally arriving at the definition of the product and its successive marketing.
Brembo Ceramic Brake Systems was set up in 2004 as fifty-fifty Joint Venture by Brembo and Daimler Chrysler (today Daimler AG). In September 2008 Brembo purchased 50% of BCBS from Daimler.
BCBS is a leading company in manufacturing of composite ceramic braking systems for automotive and in research and development for innovative materials.
The carbon/carbon material is being used since 1970’s for braking systems for aerospace vehicles and since 1980’s for the racing world. Since 2000’s, the Carbon Ceramic Material (CCM) is being used in the production of braking systems for sport cars.
The CCM guarantees advantages in terms of performance in dry and wet conditions, weight, comfort, corrosion resistance, high lifetime and technical image.
"[Brembo] Applications: All models of Ferrari, Mercedes SLR, Pagani Zonda, GM Corvette ZR1, Aston Martin DBS, Alfa Romeo 8C."
