Taycan turbo is 87.7%, which is way more than any of the Plaid aftermarket options except for the RB 432mm 6 pot caliper kit.
Aren't the PCCB 410mm front 390mm rear for the Taycan Turbo S

You guys need to remember that the P Taycan EVs (and sister Audi EVs) use regenerative braking only when the brakes are actually used, unlike almost all other EVs including Tesla that uses regenerative braking simply by letting off on the accelerator. Porsche/Audi WANT you to use your brakes and quite often! I think the regular way of brake regen is better.Taycan turbo is 87.7%, which is way more than any of the Plaid aftermarket options except for the RB 432mm 6 pot caliper kit.
Do we know if the design of any of those is the air pump style, and do any of them have dedicated ducts for fresh air? Both of those make a massive difference to overall system performance but usually are not on OEM cars of any kind (unless they are track only cars) for cost and complexity reasons.
No, the Taycan turbo S has 420 mm front and 410 mm rear.Aren't the PCCB 410mm front 390mm rear for the Taycan Turbo S
I don't know if they downsized them on the 2022's but the 2019 and 2020 had 420mm front and 410mm rear,

Nice summary... can you add the brake specs for the Tesla Track pack? ThanksHere is a list of all the electric performance cars currently on the market:

who knows how thick the rotors are, hat size and regen.

Well done. Looks like the Track Pack now has the best Rotor to Weight ratio!Added the track pack carbon ceramic rotors for the plaid and kept the curb weight the same:

The BMW i3 is 0.0844, which is higher than all of these and not a car I would want to compare it to. It has 184 hp and regen.
You are comparing relative similar weight cars that have 1020 hp vs 562hp. The power to weight ratio of the Plaid is double the GTS. The speeds the Plaid can achieve are quite different. That is like comparing the rotors on a Corvette to a Miata.The Taycan GTS is being promoted as a fun canyon and occasional track day car and that car has 360mm front rotors with a curb weight of 5077lbs with a ratio of 0.0709. I am comparing the Plaid to similar high performance EV's. I feel that the UP front rotors and track pads that I ordered is more than enough for my needs when looking at the table. I think I am going to leave the rear rotors alone but I am not sure what to do about the pads.

YESSSSSSSSS!!
Yes, Interesting to note that "regenerative braking power is strengthened to recover more energy."
That's possibly my favorite Track Mode feature. It's great when tearing up a twisty back road, you can maintain a much faster pace while minimizing use of the brakes. More efficient and feels better.Yes, Interesting to note that "regenerative braking power is strengthened to recover more energy."
