AMG brakes are designed to withstand severe use conditions. After all, they equip cars whose engines and transmissions were tuned for maximum performance. When brakes operate at a high initial speed, they generate a large amount of heat which must be quickly dissipated. Otherwise, the system may fade, that is, the system would no longer be capable of properly responding to the driver's input on the pedal and that could be disastrous.
AMG brake calipers have become a global reference in this matter precisely because of their properties regarding heat dissipation. Their carbon-ceramic composition ensures overall resistance to much higher temperatures than those of metallic alloys, which means the brakes will take much longer to fade – if they ever do – and they will return to regular temperatures much faster, which means they can be quickly ready for the next use.
