Amg Carbon Ceramic Brakes

The carbon ceramic brakes fitted as standard on many high performance vehicles are constructed in one of two ways either a core of ceramic material reinforced with chopped carbon fibre with an additional ceramic layer on the friction surface or simply the core of ceramic material with chopped carbon fibre and no outer friction layer.

Amg carbon ceramic brakes. Rather than cast iron or steel carbon ceramic brake discs are made from a composite material. I looked up the parts myself and it appears that just the parts rotors and pads are somewhere in the neighborhood of 11 000. We were able to confirm this in our previous tests in hockenheim nürburgring gp and spa despite motorsport brake fluid and pads. The more advanced construction materials and more complex manufacturing process contribute to the higher price of carbon ceramic brakes.

In this video you can see v8 engine of c63 amg model 2017 and comparison of brake calipers. Red standard amg brakes vs optional amg carbon ceramic brakes. Queen of curves with absolute control. Despite carbon ceramic brakes the production vehicle tends to show significant brake fading during track use especially on gp courses.

High performance with carbon ceramic brakes. Sport driving performance with carbon ceramic brakes. Power stop s evolution carbon ceramic pad formula uses oe positive mold technology to ensure a uniform friction density throughout the pad. Z23 evolution sport performance carbon fiber ceramic brake pads by power stop.

Silicon resin is shot through with small grains of carbon fiber and moulded. Carbon ceramic brakes for the most popular one make series. According to several people on the amg forums they received a carbon ceramic brake rotor and pad change estimate of somewhere between 15 000 and 18 000 when the time finally came to do the work. Control and high performance.

Welcome to speed review channel. Carbon ceramic brakes work through the same mechanism as standard disc brakes but the discs themselves are made from a very different material through a complex process.
