Expensive if made well, that's why.  Porsche seldom compromises with
anything and certainly not with brakes, even if it turns to be expensive.

Almost (if not all) all WRC (World Rally Championship) manufacturers use
slotted metal rotors on their group A cars.  This has been going on for
quite awhile.  ( The carbon-based rotors are not slotted, though Porsche
has drilled carbon-based rotors.)
