Brakes
They say with great power comes great responsibility. That’s when the brakes of the new 718 Spyder, derived directly from the 911 GT3, come into play. Specifically, front six-piston, rear four-piston Aluminium monobloc fixed brake calipers with Red finish.

The composite brake discs, adapted to the high power output, have a 380mm diameter at the front and rear. They are internally vented and crossdrilled for high thermal load and good responsiveness – even in the wet.
