Burning Brakes
ahh..so adding the PCCB's to drop weight?
I am rather less convinced that they are superior retarders than steels...i'll buy they reduced unsprung weight...but seriously is that a meaningful consideration in applying them to the Panamera

I've found I like the brake "feel" better w/ the PCCB's in other Porsches. While the weight and performance improvements may be minor, there are a couple other things to consider: Aesthetically (other than huge yellow callipers), you will get reduced brake dust issues and won't have corroded steel rotors showing through the wheel spokes.
The biggest benefit may be from a "Value" standpoint. While I haven't priced pads/rotor cost for a Panamera, the pads and rotors for a Cayenne Turbo S would mean that by the 2nd brake job you would be money ahead with the PCCB's (assuming the ceramic rotors outlast steel rotors by a factor of 2). Perhaps many won't keep the car that long, but eventually it will pay.

I think the people who say there is no difference in the PCCB are the ones who would never justify the cost. To me it is something that if I never had I would never miss, but now that I have had it would never want a car without it.
