# Low-Weight Brake Calipers The New Brembo Brake Calipers are Designed For High-End Vehicles By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-09-23 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calipers References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/brembo-brake-caliper-car/39506/) & [brembo](http://www.brembo.com/en/company/news/newcalipersiaa) The [Brembo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brembo-sensify) brake calipers are a new series of special car calipers that have a special design that allows them to bring together [low weight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/composite-spokes) with the same rigidity associated with the best quality calipers. The special design is marked by five openings that create hollow areas in specific low-stress areas. The cavities in the caliper body help save as much as eight per cent of weight in total, which is why the calipers weigh as little as they do. These new Brembo calipers will be available in four different versions. While there isn't a whole lot of information on whether there will be calipers for non-four-piston setups, Brembo has revealed that they are looking to supply car manufacturers with brake kits that are specifically compatible to [high-end car models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modified-luxury-vehicle). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Lightweight Car Parts:** Opportunity to create other lightweight car parts such as suspension and exhaust systems. - **Specialized Car Components:** Opportunity to develop other specialized car components tailored to high-end cars. - **Automotive Manufacturing Efficiency:** Opportunity for automotive manufacturers to streamline production and reduce costs by incorporating lightweight materials. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** Automotive companies can incorporate these brake calipers into their high-end vehicle models. - **Auto Parts:** Auto parts companies can develop other lightweight and specialized car components to cater to high-end cars. - **Materials Science:** Materials science companies can develop more lightweight and durable materials to improve automotive efficiency. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Powered Automotive Brakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brembo-sensify.md) - [High-End Road Wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highend-road-wheel.md) - [Featherweight Folding Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/featherweight-folding-bicycle.md) - [Ultralight Single-Seater Racers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/briggs-automotive-company-x-hypetex-mono-r.md) - [Expertly Engineered Bike Rotors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twopiece-3d-floating-rotor.md) - [Lightweight High-Performance Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-highperformance-supercar.md) - [Aerodynamic Carbon Road Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannondale-supersix-evo-lab71.md) - [Lightweight Titanium Bike Cranks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-wings.md) - [Carbon Fiber Mountain Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon-mountain-bike.md)
