Porsche Composite Ceramic Brake (PCCB)

Porsche Composite Ceramic Brake (PCCB)







Similar to the 911 Turbo (996), the new 911 Turbo (997) the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) system is available as optional equipment. The disc diameters on the front axle were increased to 380 mm in order to further improve braking performance.

The most important changes to the advanced disc technology concern the shape of the inner cooling ducts for better ventilation with greater brake cooling and rigidity, as well as the material composition with increased abrasion resistance. The result means increased performance and an even longer service life for the brake system.

The advanced Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) system offers advantages over a brake system that uses steel discs:







- Faster response.
- Very high fading stability thanks to consistent friction values.
- High safety reserves under high levels of stress.
- Approx. 50 % lighter than grey cast iron brake discs of the same design and dimensions.
- Corrosion resistance of the brake discs.
