Brembo's Biggest Brakes Skip the Supercar, Go to the Truck

· 1 min read

Brembo has built its most powerful brake system yet, and it isn't destined for a sports car or a supercar. The system, called Boldika, is engineered instead for the heaviest passenger vehicles on the road: full-size pickups and heavy EVs carrying the hardest loads. It's a reversal of where top-tier stopping power has traditionally gone, aimed now at weight and towing capacity rather than top speed. For owners running heavy-duty trucks and electric vehicles that ask more of a brake pedal than any coupe ever did, the company's flagship engineering effort is finally pointed their way.

With reporting from Road & Track.
