You aren’t usually so quick to brake.

The-key-advantage-is-that-the-brake-discs-
are-approximately-50-percent-lighter-than-
standard-discs-of-similar-design-and-size.-
Enhanced-performance-and-fuel-economy-
are-among-the-most-noticeable-benefits-
along-with-a-major-reduction-in-unsprung-
and-rotating-masses.-The-results-are-
improved-handling,-better-roadholding-
and-increased-comfort.

individual-wheels.-That’s-not-all.-If-the-
driver-suddenly-releases-the-accelerator-

a-higher-state-of-readiness.-Maximum-

sooner.-Integral-ABS-is-optimized-for-

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB)
As-an-option,-you-can-have-your-Macan-
equipped-with-the-track-proven-Porsche-
Ceramic-Composite-Brake-(PCCB).
The-4C-Macan-model-is-equipped-with-
4-piston-aluminum-monobloc-fixed-brake-
calipers-at-the-front.-All-other-models-get-
6-piston-fronts.-Rear-calipers-are-the-
same-across-all-models.-The-brake-discs-
are-internally-vented-for-consistently-high-
braking-power-even-during-continuous-use.
Optional-for-the-Macan Turbo,-Macan GTS-
and-Macan S.
The-cross-drilled-ceramic-brake-discs-
have-a-diameter-of-396 mm-at-the-front-
axle-and-a-thickness-of-38 mm.-At-the-
rear,-they-are-370 mm-in-diameter-and-
30 mm-thick.
Standard on Macan 4C.
Porsche Stability Management (PSM)
PSM-is-an-electronic-control-system-that-
helps-maintain-stability—and-increases-
driving-safety—even-at-the-limits-of-
sporty-performance.
To-cope-with-the-performance-capability-
of-the-Macan-models,-the-brake-discs-
fitted-to-the-front-axle-are-up-to-360 mm-
in-diameter.
