Ferrari has announced that carbon ceramic brakes will be a standard feature across its entire 2008 model lineup. The announcement was made today by Ferrari General Manager Amedeo Felisa at the Bologna Motor Show.
While ceramic brakes have been optional on some of the best sports in the world for several years — such as on vehicles offered by Porsche , Lamborghini and Ferrari — Ferrari’s announcement marks the first time an automaker has made them standard across its entire range.
Ceramic brakes disperse heat better than their standard counterparts and all but eliminate brake fade. Normally the performance brake option costs at least $10,000.
