In terms of innovation and high performance, Porsche is one of the leading car manufacturers. The new Taycan is the latest proof of Stuttgart's interest in new tricks, which is also obvious in less obvious places.

Take Porsche's exquisite new tungsten carbide brake disc as an example. It will not rust and generate little or no brake dust. Most importantly, it provides an unfading experience.

We got it. It's easy to get lost in Porsche's simplified system and technology. This means that today, we will not fill your head with a lot of letters. There are only four: PCSB, or Porsche surface-coated brakes.

Essentially, PSCB is a tungsten carbide coated disc.

The mixture is so strong that the resulting crystals are very hard and can cut glass. In the long run, although tungsten carbide is not as hard as diamond, it is about ten times harder than gray cast iron.

Most importantly, tungsten carbide has other interesting properties. First of all, it has the same thermal stability and bite force as ceramic brakes, and the cost is only one-third of ceramic brakes.

In addition, tungsten carbide brake discs do not require brake pads, they are less prone to wear and rust than iron discs, and most importantly, they produce very little brake dust. Oh, PSCB discs can work perfectly at temperatures exceeding 600 degrees Celsius.

So why did Porsche introduce its fancy brakes on the Cayenne Turbo? Because the Cayenne Turbo is a heavy vehicle regardless of its 0-60 mph sprint speed. Combine this with the ability of the engine to move faster than the hot hatch, and it's clear that you need to stop the power to keep the Cayenne Turbo stable on all surfaces and in all weather conditions.

This is almost the content of the Porsche PSCB brake discs in the literature, now it is time to check these numbers with the help of Engineering Explained.
