2020 Nissan GT-R Nismo Carbon Ceramic Brakes

The 2020 Nissan GT-R Nismo has upgraded Carbon Ceramic Brakes (CCB). The GT-R is a fairly big and heavy car, with a lot of power, so it can really tax the factory braking system. In continuing development Nissan and Brembo have developed an upgraded CCB system for the new Nismo.

GT-R NISMO Brembo Brake Discs:

Largest of their kind from Brembo on any sports car today.
Front: Carbon Ceramic – 16.14 x 1.5 inches (410 mm x 38 mm) diameter.
Rear: Carbon Ceramic – 15.35 x 1.26 inches (390 mm x 32 mm) diameter.
Cross-drilled cooling holes work together with the side ventilation channels.
Carbon and silica carbide structure of the rotors is nearly as hard as diamonds.
The front discs use a bell made from high-strength aluminum to further cut weight.

“On a race car there are great efforts taken to get maximum air to cool the brakes, while not disrupting the aerodynamics of the vehicle – the overall flow of air over the car,” Sandberg explained. “On a road car, it is more difficult to get maximum cooling to the brakes. Therefore, the available air is used through cooling holes and vents in the disc as well as by the design of the caliper.”
