From 2008, Ferrari will be the first manufacturer to offer Brembo carbon ceramic brakes as standard across its whole range.Previously an option on all Ferrari models except the Enzo, which was the first production car fitted with carbon ceramic brakes, the benefits include improved performance, durability and response.You also get improved response time and a weight saving of around 15kg from the car's total weight.Not surprisingly, anybody buying a Prancing Horse wanted it to stop well, and popular demand resulted in the technology being made standard.The announcement was made today at Bologna motor show, where the new Ferrari 430 Scuderia was also displayed.

Re: Ferraris to stop faster as standard
I would argue that this should be a given when you consider the performance these cars stand for. Looks like Ferrari are the first to realise that performance is not just how fast you get to 60, but also how well you get back to 0.
Well done Ferrari for making these brakes standard. Over to the rest of the performance brigade.

Is this news really?
Re: Ferraris to stop faster as standard
I guess anyone with the money to buy one would have had it as an option anyway! Only 15kg? I thought these things were supposed to be super - light!!!!
