High-performance
braking system
A car as powerful as an RS needs an equally powerful
system to slow it down. This takes the form of 19-inch
RS brakes, with 6-piston fixed calipers on the front axle.
Each brake disc is internally ventilated and perforated for
enhanced performance, while a special ‘floating’ friction
ring improves stability under high temperature loads.
For even greater strength and thermal resistance with
an added weight-saving, you can opt for 20-inch ceramic
brakes on your RS 6 Avant. See page 45 for full details.
