3. Lexus RC-F Brakes
The Lexus RC-F is outfitted with Brembo’s six-piston mono-block calipers which, it’s worth pointing out, feature 14.9-in slotted and ventilated discs in the front, and Brembo’s four-piston mono-block calipers with 13.5-in slotted and ventilated discs in the back. The Brembo system is outfitted with sensors, a four-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist.
After all, when you’re going that fast, it’s important to be able to stop just as quickly.
