A perfect match for the V12engines increased power arethe new Carbon Ceramic Matrix(CCM) brakes, which come asstandard. The best brakes evertted to a DB9, they are supplied

by acknowledged global brakeexperts, Brembo. Constructedfrom a silicon impregnatedCarbon-Fibre compound,

the discs dissipate heat moreeffectively for exceptional faderesistance and durability. Theyalso weigh some 12.5 kilogramsless than a conventional castiron braking system. This

reduction in rotational andundamped mass brings tangibleimprovements to the DB9s ride,handling, and steering feel.
