Salespeople will likely ask those configuring their new Porsche to upgrade to carbon ceramic brakes. This is no easy decision to make because ceramic brakes aren't what we'd call cheap. On the latest 992 Carrera S, they come as an $8,970 option and are even more expensive on a GT3.

You may think because you don't plan to track your car that you don't need to opt for the better brakes or that the inverse is true and the ceramic rotors will provide better braking force during your next track day. In reality, the reverse is true according to an interview by Wheels magazine with Paul Watson, a technical representative for Porsche Australia. If you do plan on taking your Porsche to the track, you should NOT opt for the ceramic brakes.
