Fits Porsche PANAMERA 970 (2010-2016)

Brake pad compound

Street: quiet, low-dust, strong cold bite for road driving. Sport: higher temperature range and more bite for fast road and occasional track. Racing: maximum fade resistance for sustained track use (noisier and dustier cold). Match the pad to how hard you actually brake.

Disc size

Caliper grade

Hollow is the standard caliper: a lighter hollow-body forged caliper with a dust cover and a 5-year warranty. Hollow Racing drops the dust cover for sustained high-temperature use (rated to 1000°C, 2-year warranty) — the track-grade choice.

Caliper colour

Painted colours are included. Polished-forged finishes are mirror-polished forged calipers (Titanium, Gold, Silver); candy colours are a deep, mirror-reflection paint. Both are premium upgrades — fuller detail further down the page.

Disc style

Drilled discs (cross-drilled holes) vent gas and water and look aggressive; slotted discs (surface grooves) wipe the pad face clean and resist fade under sustained hard use. Same price — choose on looks or how you drive.

Centre bell

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. Standard anodized is included; a two-tone bell adds an anodized accent ring in your choice of colour; titanium is the lightest, forged option.

Carbon-ceramic rotor

Carbon-ceramic rotors are a special-order track upgrade: far lighter than steel, fade-resistant at extreme temperatures and extremely long-lived. The price follows the disc size you choose above. The standard two-piece steel rotor is included.

XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Porsche PANAMERA 970 (2010-2016) — 380 mm
380 mm

The 970 Panamera makes no apologies for its weight. Across the range, from the base V6 to the twin-turbo V8 Turbo S, this is a substantial machine, and that mass concentrates enormous thermal load through the front brakes during any committed deceleration. The XYZ Racing front big brake kit replaces the front assembly with hollow-vane discs designed to shed heat more effectively than standard, sustaining pedal consistency when a heavy GT car’s factory setup starts to fade.

This is a front-axle kit, a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs with braided lines included. Three pad compounds mean the kit can be configured against how the car is actually driven, and upgrading the front brakes on a 970 opens up caliper finishes the OEM options never offer.

What this brake kit does for your 2010-2016 Porsche Panamera 970

The hollow-vane disc sheds heat through the disc body itself rather than relying on disc mass alone to absorb it, an advantage that compounds on a car that can exceed 1,800kg depending on specification. The Panamera 970 was never conceived as a lightweight track tool, but owners use them hard: high-speed autobahn runs, Alpine passes, and increasingly circuit days where brake temperatures build quickly and remain elevated throughout a session. The front axle carries the majority of deceleration work on any nose-heavy layout, and the 970’s forward weight bias amplifies that loading under trail-braking. The two-piece floating disc keeps the friction ring true as it expands, and braided lines hold pedal feel firm where rubber softens.

Selecting Racing raises the temperature ceiling at the friction surface. Sport suits fast-road use without the cold-bite penalty of a track pad in urban traffic. Street is the quiet, low-dust road default.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

At the centre of this kit is a hollow-body caliper as standard, holding rotating and unsprung mass down while increasing the surface area available for heat transfer, paired with hollow-vane discs that let air circulate through the disc body under rotation and carry heat away from the friction surface more efficiently than solid hardware. For owners committed to sustained track use, the optional Hollow Racing upgrade deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty.

XYZ Racing pairs the kit with a three-tier compound range: Street covers varied daily use across the 970’s V6 and V8 variants, Sport adds friction margin for the driver who runs quickly on road without committing to circuit sessions, and Racing is for sustained track use on a car as heavy and fast as the Panamera 970 demands. 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. The specification covers the front axle as a complete big-brake upgrade package.

Fitment for the Porsche Panamera 970 (2010-2016)

This front brake kit covers the Porsche Panamera 970 platform across the full production span from 2010 to 2016, including all engine and trim variants built on that chassis. The kit is front-axle specific; rear upgrades require a separate part. If the car has previously had non-standard hubs, offsets, or an earlier brake conversion fitted, confirm compatibility against the standard 970 front specification before ordering.

Choosing your spec

Every kit is built to order around the choices you make above. Here is what each option actually changes, so you can spec yours with confidence.

Brake pads — Street, Sport or Racing

Every kit ships with a full set of high-performance pads; the compound is your call.

Street is the right default for fast-road driving — a strong, progressive cold bite with low noise, low dust and long disc life. Sport raises the working temperature and adds bite and fade resistance for hard road use and the occasional track day, while still behaving on a cold morning. Racing is a track compound built for sustained abuse: huge fade resistance and bite once heat is in it, at the cost of more noise and dust when cold. Match the pad to how hard you actually use the brakes — there is no benefit to a race pad that never gets up to temperature.

Caliper grade — Hollow vs Hollow Racing

Hollow is the standard caliper on every kit: a hollow-body forged caliper, lighter than a solid one, fitted with a dust cover and backed by a 5-year oil-leak warranty. For most fast-road and spirited track use it is all the caliper you need.

Hollow Racing is the track-grade upgrade. It runs the same hollow body but without a dust cover (so there is nothing to melt at sustained high temperature), uses a twin-metal piston that isolates heat travelling from the disc to the oil seal, and is rated to 1000°C. Available 286–380mm (front). Warranty is 2 years on oil leaks and 10 years on appearance. Built for professional racing and repeated track days.

Caliper colour & finish

Painted colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black) are included at no cost. Want an exact match to your car? Custom Color (+£150) paints the calipers to any Pantone code you supply (15–20 day lead time).

Polished Forged finishes are the flagship: a forged caliper given a mirror-polished surface treatment that shifts colour with the viewing angle. Beyond the looks, the polished surface dissipates heat better, resists rust and stands up to the weather. Choose Titanium (neochrome, +£350), Polished Gold (+£300) or Polished Silver (+£250). They look their best paired with a titanium centre bell. Care: clean only with a dilute neutral cleaner or water.

Candy colours (+£200) use a deep candy-paint and polishing process for a mirror-reflection, boutique finish — pick Teal, Blue, Red or Orange (shown below right).

Centre bells

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. The standard anodized centre bell is included. The Two-tone bell (+£200) adds an anodized accent ring — choose Red, Yellow, Orange, Purple or Silver right here at checkout. The Titanium centre bell (+£500) is a forged titanium bell (bolts not included) that finishes off the polished-forged look.
