Le Mans 2003

[TM]

The Cayenne S and the Cayenne Turbo (there is no plain
"Cayenne" model) both use the same brakes- 6-piston front,
4-piston rear, the front rotors are 34mm thick or thereabouts,
look to be at least 345 or 355mm in diameter.

The only street cars in the US using 8-piston brakes OEM AFAIK
are the Audi RS6, the supercharged V8 AMG Benzes (E55, CL55, S55)
and I think the V12 Benzes.

The Maybach uses dual 4-piston calipers on each front wheel.

Aren't they 8-piston?  Or is that just the Cayenne S?
I saw an S yesterday, and they take 1st place for the
biggest f'n brakes I've seen on a street car/truck.
