Carbon-ceramic brakes offer several major benefits over cast-iron discs. Specifically light weight, ability to dissipate heat quickly, and preventing fade.

The only bad thing is that the extant manufacturing process is labor-intensive, driving the cost up, which is why they are currently only available on high-end supercars like Porsche 911 GT3.

Brembo SGL Carbon Ceramic Brakes has just began operations at its Milan headquarters on the first of this month, aims to streamline the production of the rotors so that they can be implemented across the industry.
