From the start, Porsche has been
synonymous with motorsport. Ever since
1948, when we found our identit y on
the racetrack, we have taken the experi -
ence we have gained and applied it to
the road. The optional Porsche Ceramic
Composite Brake (PCCB) is a fine example.
This brake system has already had to
cope with the harshest requirements of
Composure | Safet y
motor racing and is fit ted in cars that
compete in demanding events such as
the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.
The cross-drilled PCCB ceramic brake
discs for the new 911 have a diameter
of 350 mm front and rear for even more
formidable braking performance.
The use of six-piston aluminium monobloc
brake calipers on the front axle and four-
piston units at the rear – all finished in
yellow – ensures extremely high brake
forces which, crucially, are exceptionally
consistent. What we’ve discovered from over 28,000 racing victories:
Brake later, finish sooner.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB).PCCB enables shorter braking distances
in even the toughest road and race
conditions. Excellent fade resistance
ensures greater balance when slowing
from racetrack speeds.
The key advantage of PCCB is the
extremely low weight of the ceramic
brake discs, which are approximately
50 % lighter than standard discs of similar
design and size. As well as enhancing
performance and fuel economy, this
represents a major reduction in unsprung
and rotating masses. The consequence
of this is bet ter road holding and increased comfort, particularly on uneven
roads, as well as greater agilit y and
improved handling.
Please note that circuit racing, track
day use and other forms of performance
driving can significantly reduce the
service life of even the most durable
brake pads and discs.
As with conventional high-performance
braking systems, we recommend that
all brake components be professionally
inspected and replaced where necessary
after every track event.

GT-Sp o r t .
GT cars are pure-bred racing cars.
They must be based on road-registered
sports cars and modifications are
restricted to specific areas. In the early 1990s, Porsche was the
driving force behind the renaissance
of international GT motorsport. In the
meantime, Porsche has established
successful cooperation with customer
teams. Porsche supplies the race-ready cars and supports private teams with
further development, technical services
and the provision of factory drivers.
Whether it ’s in the Le Mans 24 Hours, the
ALMS, the International GT Open or at
national GT championships, Porsche
private teams are regular race and
championship winners.
Porsche one-make championships.
Porsche racing drivers are able to indulge
their passion for motorsport in 20
Porsche one-make championships on
5 continents. The philosophy is one of
equal opportunities and fairness through the use of technically identical racing
cars. The result is fiercely contested sprints of the highest standard.
Based directly on the 911 GT3 RS,
911 GT3 Cup cars compete in races
as part of high-level racing events. At each Porsche one-make championship,
Porsche supplies the cars to private teams
in race-ready condition and organises
the race series and provides support for
the drivers, teams and sponsors from
its trackside position.
