DETROIT, Jan. 14, 2013 – Brembo is the brakeof choice for the all-new 2014 Chevrolet
Corvette making its world debut today at theNorth American International Auto Show.

The OE fitment is further evidence of Brembo’s
continued growth and leadership in North
America, the second largest market for theItalian company. Brembo has demonstrated its
ability to supply brake systems not only for supercars like the Corvette ZR1,
introduced in 2009 with state-of-the-art CCM technology, but also for larger-volume
programs including the entire Corvette platform.
“We are truly proud to add the full line of Corvettes to our North American OriginalEquipment portfolio and to continue to serve as a strategic partner with Chevrolet as
they introduce the next generation of the legendary Corvette,” commented DanSandberg, President and CEO of Brembo North America.
The new brake system for the Corvette has been engineered by Brembo to provide
shorter stopping distances, better modulation, improved durability, and balanced
brake performance without fading under extreme conditions.
The four-piston, two-piece aluminum calipers were designed specifically for weightsavings and drag reduction and are among the stiffest available with virtually no
distortion from high thermal and torque loads, even under the most demanding
conditions. The calipers are anodized for superior corrosion resistance.
