I struggle to see why you would want them on a Cayenne?
there's an argument that you probably need them more on a cayenne,you've got 2 tonnes of mass to bring to a halt,compared to say 1.4 for a 911 or whatever they weigh now.And to expand that - when the car is that much heavier, the few kilos of weight saving becomes even less relevant.

Why do people think that something will stop in less distance if the brakes are ceramic rather than steel?

Where did I say that ? I was referring more to brake fade .And to expand that - when the car is that much heavier, the few kilos of weight saving becomes even less relevant.

Have never understood the fuss with Porsche doing fabulous brakes. The 'big reds' on any Porsche i've driven feel no better than your average car. However, the PCCBs feel instantly better and more confidence inspiring.
On that note, can you get PCCBs on the Macan as i'm thinking of getting a Turbo as my daily?

I agree PCCB's are much better, having tried both. You get much more feel and instant bite IMHO.On that note, can you get PCCBs on the Macan as i'm thinking of getting a Turbo as my daily?
Yes available on Macan, 8 week delay for PCCB on the Cayenne Turbo but will be available again.
Thanks
