Default Brake System on Turbo?

Does anyone know who manufacturers the red brake calipers?

Red calipers come with the standard turbo and have steel brake discs. Yellow come with the Turbo S standard and are Optional on the Turbo. They have Carbon ceramic. The option is called Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes (aka PCCB)

Brembo is the manufacturer of both the PCCB's on my Cayenne and GT3RS.

Trying to confirm who make the red calipers on the Panamera Turbo.

Hope someone can confirm.

Thanks.

It's Brembo for the red brakes (at least for the current model)

When you say 'current'....you're referring to the brand new 2017 model year?

Sorry, no the one before that. Do not know for a fact about the 2017-... model, but most likely same story - yellow and red brakes by brembo.

Ok....yeah... that's always been my understanding as well. However, someone I follow on Instagram made a comment that his brakes were Porsche...not Brembo. But I've come to realize(from additional information) that he clearly doesn't have a strong knowledge about technical aspects of the brand.
Thanks!
