BREMBO CHOSEN FOR 2014 CAMARO Z/28
Brembo Ultra-Lightweight Carbon-Ceramic Brakes Used on Z/28

DETROIT, Oct. 29, 2013 – Ever since the rebirth of theCamaro brand in the spring of 2009, Brembo has been
the brake system of choice for each new model of theiconic sports car, including the Camaro SS, the Camaro
convertible and the 580-hp, supercharged Camaro ZL1.
So earlier this year, it was no surprise when the ultimate
track-capable Camaro Z/28 debuted at the New YorkInternational Auto Show, that it was equipped with
Brembo’s latest high-performance brake technology.
What was a surprise, however, was how far Chevrolet engineers went in creating themost track-capable model in the Camaro line: capable of 1.05 g in cornering
acceleration, curb weight reduction of 300 lbs. less than ZL1, and increased stopping
power capable of 1.5 g in deceleration while maintaining a more consistent brakefeel.
The braking benefits were achieved by Brembo providing a significantly larger andmore robust Carbon-Ceramic Brake System that is unique to high-performance
luxury vehicles. The Camaro Z28 remains the only vehicle in its category withcarbon-ceramic rotors (394 x 36mm in front and 390 x 32mm in back).
Brembo’s long history in Formula 1 played an important role in the development ofcarbon-ceramic brakes, a sophisticated product now available for use in road traffic.
The high-tech brake discs weigh nearly half that of conventional discs made of castiron, decelerate the vehicle quicker and considerably improve safety of the vehicle.
Compared with conventional brake discs, drivers experience a 10% increase infriction coefficient and system operating temperatures 5% below the averagetemperature of cast-iron brake discs.
The carbon-ceramic discs are paired with state-of-the-art monobloc aluminum
calipers (six-piston fronts and four-piston rears), designed specifically for weightsavings and drag reduction. The calipers are among the stiffest available with
virtually no distortion from high thermal and torque loads, even under the mostdemanding conditions.
“We are very proud to add the Camaro Z/28 to our North American OriginalEquipment portfolio and to continue to serve as a strategic partner with Chevrolet,”commented Dan Sandberg, President and CEO of Brembo North America.
As the leading supplier of high-performance brakes to premier European auto andmotorcycle manufacturers, Brembo has recently achieved significant growth inNorth America with unique new brake technologies for customers like General
Motors, including the Buick (Regal GS), Cadillac (XTS, CTS-V and ATS) andChevrolet (Camaro SS and ZL1, Corvette ZR1 and C7 Stingray) brands.
