Here's one. The upcoming Siemens-VDO fully electric brake system. The Electronic Wedge Brake (EWB). Picture copyright Siemens AG. Image Unavailable, Please Login
it;s just a joke lol. and yes, the rear wing comes up when there's heavy braking. it's like some sorta air brakes. go to youtube and type Top Gear Slr Mclaren. and watch the review.
[Of course I'm speaking out of pure ignorance, but] Sounds scary to me. What happens when you blow an alternator belt, no brakes?

What a great idea for a thread. Some incredible photography. As a former owner of a 1980 Turbo Trans Am, that White/Blue TA made me chuckle a bit.

So far I only got this Press Release page. I hope it's interesting enough for you. http://www.siemensvdo.com/products_solutions/chassis-carbody/body_chassis_electronics/braking-technology/
I'm immediately reminded of the Top Gear episode where they show footage of the brakes actually combusting. Nothing has ever made my jaw drop more.
Great thread and great pictures... I found one more picture I had stored in my collection. It's an Impreza Image Unavailable, Please Login
