Do Dodge Challengers come with Brembo brakes?

Yes, many Dodge Challenger models come equipped with high-performance Brembo brakes as standard or optional equipment. Brembo is a renowned Italian brake manufacturer known for producing some of the best braking systems in the automotive industry.


Brembo Brakes on Dodge Challengers


The Dodge Challenger is a popular muscle car that has been offered with Brembo brakes on various trim levels and performance-oriented models since its reintroduction in 2008. Brembo brakes provide superior stopping power and fade resistance compared to standard brakes, making them a popular choice for high-performance vehicles.


On the Dodge Challenger, Brembo brakes are typically found on the following models:



  • Challenger R/T Scat Pack

  • Challenger SRT Hellcat

  • Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye

  • Challenger SRT Super Stock


These high-performance Challenger models are equipped with Brembo six-piston front calipers and four-piston rear calipers, providing exceptional braking power to match their powerful engines.


Benefits of Brembo Brakes


Brembo brakes offer several advantages over standard brakes, including:



  • Improved Stopping Power: Brembo's large, high-performance calipers and rotors provide more friction and better heat dissipation, resulting in shorter stopping distances and improved braking performance.

  • Enhanced Fade Resistance: Brembo brakes are designed to withstand high temperatures and repeated heavy braking without experiencing significant fade, ensuring consistent performance even under demanding conditions.

  • Increased Durability: Brembo's high-quality components and manufacturing processes result in brakes that are more durable and long-lasting compared to standard brakes.

  • Distinctive Styling: Brembo brakes are often visually distinctive, with their large calipers and bright red or yellow paint, adding to the sporty and high-performance appearance of the vehicle.


The inclusion of Brembo brakes on select Dodge Challenger models is a testament to the automaker's commitment to providing its customers with a truly high-performance driving experience.
