Two engineering teams. One incredibly fast car. Decades of Motorsport experience on the table.
Brembo and Nissan hit the drawing board for one of the most robust braking systems on the market.
From bright yellow paint to cooling holes, here is a look at the GT-R NISMO’s Brembo braking system.

The 2020 Nissan GT-R NISMO’s engine is homemade; hand-assembled in a special clean room by skilled technicians known as Takumi craftsmen. With a turbocharger design inspired by the GT-R GT3 race car, a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, and numerous weight reduction measures throughout, the GT-R NISMO is as much monster as it is machine. This explains the Godzilla moniker. When you’re running around with 600 horsepower and 481 lb-ft. of torque, you will crush any roadway. But keeping it all under control" That’s another story.
As we wade through the buildings toward the center of town, here’s a look at the 2020 Nissan GT-R NISMO’s Brembo Braking System.
2020 Nissan GT-R NISMO: Setting The Stage
A larger, more robust braking system was necessary to rein in the fire-breathing dragon that is the GT-R NISMO. Development teams from Brembo and Nissan hit the drawing board, envisioning a carbon ceramic system accented by bespoke calipers. Engineers from both teams elaborated on ways to make the components more durable, more responsive, and ultimately lighter.
“The bar is always higher on the next generation of a vehicle,” explained D...
