Motorcycle brakes on a drift car? Can someone tell wtf is going on here?

I don’t even…

However the extra calipers in the rear are teh sex!

Granted, I don’t have audio at work - but what’s ‘motorcycle’ about those brakes?

They are not motorcycle brakes…they are “Open Wheel Sprint or Midget Brakes”

the way the rotor is shaped and connected reminds me of the front brakes on a sport bike

When it comes to rotors, racers are constantly searching for the ultimate balance between the lowest weight and the ability to effectively manage heat. Decreased rotating weight in the drive line provides quicker deceleration under braking and quicker acceleration out of the corners. Lower weight also benefits handling with improved spring and shock control over the unsprung suspension mass. Wilwood's ULS-32 scalloped iron rotors provides effective lightweight options for sprints, late models, modifieds, and other competition applications that race in low to medium temperature ranges.

Dynapro Six Lug Mount
The DP6 marks a noteworthy step in the evolution of the DynaPro caliper series. DP6 calipers offer the performance advantages of a larger pad and a six piston differential bore configuration, with complete bolt-on interchange ability to the four piston 5.25" lug mount DynaPro models, and the long standing Dynalite caliper series.

As with the previous DynaPro models, the strength of the DP6 is a combination of process and design. Premium grade alloy billets are stress-flow forged resulting in a highly efficient, high strength body. Stress flow forging re-aligns the internal grain structure of the metal within the contour of the caliper body. This process is proven to provide superior strength over any other process derived from castings or straight billet block machining. FEA assisted solid modeling design technology was employed to find the optimum balance between lightweight with superior strength against deflection and body separation under high load.

In addition to the sturdy, yet stylish body, the DP6 incorporates race proven technology and the latest Wilwood performance enhancements. Pad clamping force is generated by six heavy wall stainless pistons configured in a leading to trailing edge differential bore pattern. The heavy wall pistons have been re-engineered to fully resist backside deflection at high pressures while maintaining balanced pad loading for even wear over the length of the pad. Stainless steel resists corrosion while inhibiting direct heat transfer from the pads to caliper body, seals, and fluid. Two choices for overall piston volume provide options to match caliper size with master cylinder output and bias requirements.

The DP6 uses the upgraded type 6712 pad that provide the larger overall volume size from the previous Dynalite and DynaPro four-piston models. The pads are retaining with exclusive Wilwood Quick-E clips for simplified pad service and maintenance without caliper removal. Stainless steel SRS bridge plates are used to dampen engagement harmonics, eliminate pad rattle, and protect the caliper bridges from gouging by the pad edges. Four corner bleeds and internal fluid passages accommodate front or rear mounting and simplified gas evacuation regardless of mounting position.

Standard DP6 calipers feature a high gloss black finish. Bright polished, high gloss red, and other custom Wilwood colors can be ordered to add personalized style for custom applications.

its all about weight. A normal vented hat/rotor weights like 14lbs. That rotor and a hat (2lbs or less) weight in at 7.8lbs or so, half the weight. Same with the caliper, thats a damn light caliper. Sprung and rotational weight.

sorta, but those are inboard mounted on the rear end.

the ones I mentioned are the pieces used for sure on that car. :thumbup
