Brake Refit | Audi TTS Refit Brembo Ceramic Set

Audi TTS demonstrated the concept of "breakthrough technology and enlighten future" of Audi brand. Among them, the Audi TTS's TFSI engine combines Audi's direct fuel injection technology with turbocharging technology. In addition to its output power of up to 200 kilowatts, the compact four-cylinder engine delivers a peak torque of 350 Nm at speeds of 2,500 to 5,000 rpm.

The importance of braking and braking systems for cars is self-evident. What about the performance of the Audi TTS brakes? Here we look at the contrast between the Audi TTS and other vehicles of the same class through several pictures to see who has a better braking system.

It can be seen from the figure that the result of the brake test of the Audi TTS at 100-0km/h is about 35.4m, which is already very good in the same class of cars. But the pursuit of perfect track enthusiasts, even if it is a point may be crucial, so it is more important to upgrade the brake system.

      Carbon-ceramic braking system, the core component of which is the brake disc, is not made of cast iron or alloy steel, but is a reinforced composite ceramic made of carbon fiber and silicon carbide at a temperature of 1700 degrees Celsius. Ceramic discs weigh less than half as much as ordinary cast iron discs. For example, the ceramic brake SLR MCLAREN has a front brake disc diameter of 370mm but weighs only 6.4 kg. The CL-CLASS with a normal brake disc has a front plate diameter of 360mm but a weight of up to 15.4 kilograms. Obviously, ceramic discs have reduced the overall weight of the brakes considerably. Then let's take a look at the effect of this ceramic brake assembly on the Audi TTS's Brembo.

Upgrade brake brands: Brembo

Upgrade vehicle: Audi TTS

Front-wheel brake upgrade parameters: Brembo GT six-piston caliper-380Brembo carbon terracotta

Because this Audi TTS uses an 18-inch wheel, it is then paired with a Brembo GT six-piston-380 disc. So the inside of the hub looks very full.
