Default PSCB

Anyone know when/if this is coming to the 992? Already available as a £2105 option on the Cayenne. Anything to reduce the bleeding brake dust and I really don't want to shell out £6k for ceramics.

I don't have an answer to your question. But I have PSCB on my Cayenne with about 1300 miles on it. Brake dust has been substantially reduced from what I get from the steel brakes on my 991. I am very pleased. Elimination of brake dust was the reason I got them. However, the PSCB are very sensitive, needing a light touch. Some would say the brakes are grabby. After 2 1/2 weeks of driving, I am getting used to them. But they are still more sensitive than steel. I have never owned PCCB so I can't compare them. I would get them again because of the lack of brake dust. Hope this helps.

Good to know. Are the calipers only in white or were you given an option to paint?

I'm, guessing it'll be offered at a later date, like other options. Some of the development cars had white calipers:

PSCB will be introduced with the 992 Turbo late 2019.

At least we had the chance to take black calipers! I never liked the S-models in red!

Saw the new PSCB for the first time today on a Cayenne Turbo at this morning's Porsche of Orlando Cars & Coffee. Super Nice! Rotor surface felt incredibly smooth No brake dust is going to appeal to many. And no micro-checking like you see on PCCBs. And cost is about 1/3 of PCCB. What's not to like about that?
Wish it would be possible to retrofit to 991.2s in the future. But that might be a long time. A good guess is Porsche is going to sell a lot of PSCB!

The white caliper is a cool look IMO with the whole futuristic look and feel of the 992

C'mon Porsche! This is a must-have option for me (black wheels camp). What's the delay? Release these glorious brakes and the manual option already! I can't order a car until it's on the configurator!!!

PSCB calipers should be silver with mild sheen and black lettering , imo

Even if its rotors throw off minimally visible brake dust , the use of " refrigerator enamel white " in a location exposed to muddy water spray , road grime, dust, oil, grease is strange because the same OCD owners now relieved of wiping brake dust off wheels after each drive will expend same if not more effort wiping down the now frequently brown-streaked calipers !

Will also give blacked out cars w blacked out wheels an orca , panda or penguin vibe ...uggh

I also wonder how they would stand up to occasional track days.

we will know more a year from now from casual/frequent/aggressive track users reporting back whether these snowy calipers turn up with oxidized splotches of brown , etc.

The PCSB I've seen were gray, not white.
