What’s Special About Mercedes-Benz AMG® Brakes?

The Mercedes-Benz AMG® GLE 63 Coupe can rocket from zero to sixty miles per hour in 3.7 seconds. That’s impressive, but if you’re suddenly cut off, your time from sixty to zero is urgent. Thankfully, Mercedes Benz parts like AMG® brakes provide the rapid stopping power you need precisely when you need it most.

Mercedes-Benz AMG Brakes take performance to a new level

AMG® Brake Options

There are three AMG® brake options for Mercedes vehicles at Keyes European:

  • High-Performance Braking System: Features perforated front and rear rotors with silver-painted calipers, standard on many models.
  • High-Performance Composite Braking System: Rotors are ventilated, slotted, and perforated. Their cooling and fade resistance means that they offer even better deceleration.
  • High-Performance Ceramic Composite Braking System: The carbon and ceramic compound rotors make these brakes 40% lighter. The bronze calipers add a stylish finish.

AMG® Brake Advantages

These brakes have been designed and engineered for world-class performance. Compared with regular brakes, AMG® brakes are lighter, increasing the nimbleness of the cars, producing less fading for drivers, lasting longer for owners, and activating with less pedal pressure, offering passengers a smoother ride and designed for sure stops in any conditions. Like other vital systems, they require maintenance at a Mercedes-Benz service center.

AMG® Brake Technology

The front axle of an AMG® braking system features a double floating brake caliper to reduce heat transfer and increased comfort inside the vehicle. The braking system is controlled electronically and has been adapted to add functions that improve safety.

If a driver switches from the accelerator to the brake pedal before emergency braking, AMG® increases the pressure on the brake lines so that the pads can grip instantly with full force. In wet conditions, every time the windshield wipers are in operation, short brake impulses transmitted from the system ensure that the film of water on the brakes is wiped off and the brakes can work more effectively.
