Ceramic composite brakes are a type of braking system used in high-performance vehicles. They are made from a strong and heat-resistant material called ceramic, combined with other materials such as carbon fibers. These brakes provide better stopping power and endurance than traditional brakes, allowing cars to brake more effectively and consistently at high speeds.
