Brakes

Mercedes-Benz brakes feature brake pads and rotors precisely engineered from metal compounds to safely transfer heat and provide superior strength. The result is outstanding deceleration and optimal teamwork between brakes and their electronic systems. 

Most car brakes aim to stop their vehicle as quickly as possible. Mercedes-Benz brakes not only concentrate on 60 to 0 time, but they also offer less noise and help conduct a smoother ride. 

When you get a Mercedes-Benz vehicle, you will get one of the most advanced braking systems available today. The braking system in each Mercedes-Benz is designed to that vehicle's unique specifications, ensuring that you'll have all the stopping power you need with the smoothness you love.

AMG High-Performance Braking System

Standard on many vehicles, including the Mercedes-AMG GLA 45, this brake system features perforated front rotors and rear rotors with silver-painted fixed calipers.

AMG High-Performance Composite Braking System

The next step up, our composite braking system offers even greater levels of deceleration. On the Mercedes-AMG GT C, composite rotors in the front and rear are ventilated, slotted, and perforated for better cooling and fade resistance.   

AMG High-Performance Ceramic Composite Braking System

For this brake, two-piece rotors are made of carbon and ceramic compound - a material similar to what's used in AMG F1 racecars - so they're 40% lighter and require less pedal pressure. Bronze-colored 6-piston front calipers give them a striking look as your vehicle comes to a stop.
