XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Porsche PANAMERA 971 (2016-2026)

The Panamera 971 occupies an unusual place in the GT car landscape. It is a two-tonne-plus executive saloon that Porsche somehow made genuinely fast, and that gap between mass and performance creates a specific demand on the front axle. Even the entry 2.9-litre car weighs over 2,000kg; the Turbo S E-Hybrid tops 2,300kg. Engine-forward weight distribution loads the front brakes harder than a comparable rear-engined Porsche would, and the cars are used accordingly: autobahn runs, Alpine passes, and an increasing number of Nürburgring sessions by owners who have discovered just how capable the 971 chassis actually is.

The XYZ Racing front big brake kit addresses that demand in a configurable package. It is a front-axle kit, a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs with braided lines included. Three pad compounds let owners match the consumable to their programme without swapping hardware, and caliper finishes let the installation sit with the 971’s visual language rather than fighting it.

What this brake kit does for your 2016-2026 Porsche PANAMERA 971

Uprated front brakes on the 971 are less about adding drama and more about managing what the car’s weight and performance ask of the front axle. The hollow-vane discs shed heat faster than a standard solid disc, reducing the fade that emerges when a 2,000kg-plus car is braked hard from speed repeatedly. The two-piece floating disc keeps the friction ring true under heat, and braided lines keep brake feel consistent on fast-road runs where loads are still substantial.

Racing extends the car’s usable track window considerably. Sport holds firm bite on quick road work where temperatures are more moderate. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for everyday use.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

XYZ Racing’s caliper is a hollow-body design as standard, reducing unsprung rotating mass while increasing the thermal surface area available for heat exchange. On a car the size and weight of the Panamera 971, that surface area matters: the front axle absorbs the majority of braking load, and on a heavy GT car used at pace, the heat management properties of the hardware directly affect how the system holds up over a session. For owners committed to a circuit programme, the optional Hollow Racing upgrade deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty.

The kit is front-specific and pairs with three pad compounds: Street for everyday road use, Sport for aggressive fast-road work and occasional track running, and Racing for committed circuit use. Included caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone available, plus premium polished-forged (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange) finishes above those for an exact match to a 971’s specification.
