The Brembo and Ford relationship dates back to 1996, when Brembo first supplied front brake discs to the Mustang SVT Cobra R, and again in 2000 when Brembo calipers and discs were featured on the Mustang SVT Cobra R. Fast forward to today and Brembo braking system components are used by Ford on the Mustang GT models (with available performance packages), Mustang Bullitt, Shelby GT350, plus the all-new Shelby GT500 and Mach-E.
The company has worked with the performance teams at Ford and Multimatic to tune the friction performance of the pads to the DYATOM ™ in order to offer a more aggressive braking solution for the Ford GT MK II. Because the MK II is designed as a track car, engineers took advantage of Brembo's 42+ years of racing knowledge and winning at the highest levels of motorsport to create this braking system.
The chemistry in the DYATOM™carbon ceramic disc, with its five layers, provides extremely high thermal performance, with outstanding wear resistance even under severe track usage. Through this effect, brake pad performance is supported by lower operating temperatures.As a consequence, the brake can be downsized and yet provide the same and even higher braking power.
Advantages
o Lower operating temperature
o Allows for higher brake performance
o Less friction material wear
o Improved brake pedal stability thanks to lower brake fluid temperature
Downsizing of the DYATOM™ carbon ceramic brake disc
o Provides a more efficient material utilization
o Reduces unsprung masses resulting in better vehicle dynamics and more efficient wheel contact with the road
o Shorter stopping distances
Overall
o Long-lasting and enduring braking system
o Almost no abrasive wear on disc surface
o Discs can be applied with copper-free pads already in use in some families of Brembo/SGL carbon ceramic discs
