Facelift Interesting new brakes from Porsche
- Thread starter 8YARWY
- Start date
As with most things in the automotive industry, these were developed by a tier 1 supplier. In this case, Bosch (I became aware of these a while ago through contacts there).

Looks like they have finally come to market.

Very interesting and sounds like the future of braking. The manufacturing process to apply the Tungsten Carbide to the rotor sounds complex and expensive as a result! As with any new technology it will be expensive to begin with no doubt and will become cheaper once more manufacturers adopt the approach.
No more brakedust (or much reduced) would be nice!

It’s an interesting process but I bet not too dissimilar to plasma coating the Aluminium block bores.

I don't get why (except for commercial reasons) they don't add a bigger TC layer. A solid 1mm would make the rotors last 10x longer?
It is a problem of adhesion?

I asked myself the same question when watching it and came to the same conclusion!You’d never buy a replacement

Yeah that's what I meant by "commercial reasons", you'd think it'd be physically possible tho.You’d never buy a replacement
