Cayenne brakes (was Le Mans)

[Jon Linkov]

Yes, they are the same. The development materials I worked on for Porsche
sales training showed that the brakes are IDENTICAL, except for color. I am
not sure if the Ceramic brakes are 6-piston too, and can't remember if the
Carrera GT is using 6 or 8 pistons in the front...it's been 7 months since
I've seen the material.
