Chevy released the amazing 0-60 time of 2.95 seconds for the 2015 Corvette Z06, the fastest time ever for a GM production car.
Equally as amazing is how quickly the Z06 can go from 60 to 0 mph – in 99.6 feet with the Z07 package!
Brembo is the brains behind that stellar performance, and the company recently released a neat video explaining how its carbon ceramic brake system does the trick.
Here are some of the details from that video:
- Aluminum monoblock caliper.
- Six pistons
- Cross-drilled radiators for improved pad and brake fluid cooling.
- Optimum force distribution pistons
- Differentiated piston diameters – 38mm, 34mm, 30mm.
- Three different colors
- High-performance brake pads specifically developed for use with CCM brake rotors.
- Carbon ceramic-matrix brake rotors (15.5 inches in front, 15.3 inches in rear), offering less weight, better performance, and no corrosion.
- Cross drilling for maximum ventilation
- Longer rotor life, near to zero wear, less pollution
- Consistent performance under all operating conditions
- Zero thermal deflection eliminates brake vibration.
It all adds up to one outstanding braking system for the new Z06, sure to be among the best in the world.
