Triton Motorsports Launches Carbon Ceramic Brake Upgrade for Audi RS6 RS7
A carbon-ceramic brake upgrade kit has been introduced for the Audi RS6 and RS7 Sportback, aimed at owners seeking stronger, more consistent stopping power under sustained high-performance driving. The package, offered by Triton Motorsports, is designed as a direct replacement for the factory iron-disc setup on 2020-and-later models. It targets the fade that conventional iron rotors can develop when subjected to repeated hard braking.
Iron brake discs dissipate heat effectively in everyday use but can lose bite when pushed repeatedly at high speed, a common concern for heavy, high-output performance sedans and wagons. The carbon-ceramic system is engineered to hold its performance across extended hard use, providing more stable braking force and longer service life than the hardware it replaces.
- High-specification carbon-ceramic discs: The kit includes front and rear carbon-ceramic rotors built to original equipment standards, which the manufacturer says ensures compatibility with the vehicle's existing braking hardware.
- Reinforced friction layer: The supplied pads use a reinforced friction layer intended to raise the friction coefficient and slow wear, keeping braking behavior consistent in extreme conditions.
- Weight reduction: The carbon-ceramic rotors weigh roughly 50 percent less than comparable iron discs, cutting unsprung mass and improving suspension response, acceleration and overall agility.
The kit is positioned as a direct replacement for the factory braking system, so no modifications to the chassis or brake lines are required. That approach is intended to keep installation straightforward while preserving the original engineering layout of the RS models.

The central value of a carbon-ceramic system is thermal stability. Under repeated aggressive driving, the material is designed to resist heat-related fade, shorten stopping distances and deliver a more progressive pedal feel than iron equivalents.
The package ships as a complete set of front and rear discs with matching pads. Estimated delivery lead time is about 50 days. Because it is a direct-replacement solution, the upgrade adds capability without altering the factory engineering integrity of the RS platform.
