Cayenne brakes (was Le Mans)

Carter-
No way in hell if they were both stock- the
calipers, except for the color, are identical.
The brake systems are identical.

No optional brake upgrades except for possibly
some sort of "special wish" type deal, but the
rotors are already larger in diameter and thicker
than anything else that Porsche makes.

The GT2 uses PCCB, the ceramic disk setup with
6-piston monobloc calipers. Even those calipers
are smaller than the Cayenne calipers, at least
in sheer size, if not swept area.

Hey Taka -
The S at Limerock had silver calipers, and the Turbo had Red calipers -
but they were differently shaped for sure.  Maybe a "factory option"?
Doesn't the GT2 and Carrera GT run 8 piston front calipers? Carter
