What Does the Color of Brake Calipers Represent?

[Hayden]

The meanings of brake caliper colors are introduced as follows: 1. Black calipers: These are the most basic caliper color used in Porsche's entry-level models, such as the Macan and Boxster. However, they are typically found on lower-power models, while higher-power versions use red calipers. 2. Silver calipers: These are positioned one level higher than black calipers. For example, the Cayenne S comes with silver calipers, while the standard Cayenne has black calipers. The more upscale Cayenne Turbo is equipped with red calipers. 3. Red calipers: Red calipers are more premium than black or silver ones and are only installed on high-performance versions, such as the aforementioned Cayenne Turbo and Boxster GTS. 4. Yellow calipers: These are the most high-end brake calipers in Porsche's lineup, usually found on ultra-high-performance vehicles like the Panamera Turbo S and 911 Turbo S. Therefore, if you see yellow Porsche calipers, they are generally on top-tier models. If an entry-level model has yellow calipers, it is likely a custom paint job. 5. Green calipers: Green calipers are used on Porsche's hybrid models, such as the current Cayenne E-hybrid, Panamera E-hybrid, and 918 Spyder.
