BREMBO BRINGS ITS OE EXPERTISE TO PREMIUM END OF THE
AFTERMARKET
For half a century premium car makers have recognised Brembo as a true leader in theirhighly specialised market segment. Components for high-end cars require a carefully
customized technical approach and innovative solutions. These characteristics weretraditionally developed and offered by carmakers.
That changes today with the launch of Brembo`s dedicated range of Aftermarket integral
and composite brake discs (including floating discs). Brembo is now bringing its exclusive
expertise as a supplier of top-of-the-range braking systems for the world's most prestigious
cars to the design and manufacture of Aftermarket components for high-end cars.
The new Aftermarket range features high performance technical innovations, including:Specific materials
Dedicated venting solutions
Customized machining of the braking surface

Thanks to these technical solutions, Brembo guarantees top performance even in extreme
conditions, highly durable brake components and the best driving experience. The newAftermarket range, which will be expanded over coming months, already covers top
models of such important brands as Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Aston Martin andothers.

FLOATING DISCS
The new Aftermarket product range includes premium applications that require highly
specialist floating discs. In the Brembo aftermarket catalogue these are available, forexample, for the Mercedes C 63 AMG (W204/S204), Audi's RS4 (8EC/8ED) and Aston
Martin's Vanquish (R2A).
Floating discs meet the need of premium sports cars, in particular, for lightweight and highperforming braking systems. The weight reduction plays a primary role in the design ofsuch brake systems. The floating disc meets this requirement.
Using an aluminium hub guarantees a significant reduction in unsprung weight, with apositive effect on comfort, handling and fuel consumption / emissions. The performance ofthe system benefits from the combination of the hub of the disc with the brake surface but
each part maintains the possibility to swell even when thermally stressed. This highly
specialised design allows uniform expansion that prevents the disc from deforming, evenwhen it is overheated.

Brembo now offers Aftermarket professionals a truly comprehensive range of Aftermarket
products covering all the requirements of the car park, including at the very top end.
