You've surely heard of Brembo, the world's number one manufacturer of high-performance brakes used by the likes of Ferrari, Porsche, and Lamborghini. Founded in Italy in 1961, Enzo Ferrari chose Brembo brakes for his Formula 1 racing cars, and the red calipers have become a staple on many high-performance domestic cars like the Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, and many others.

 

Recently, Brembo has reached even further into mainstream (but sporty) applications from Toyota, Hyundai, and Volkswagen. But now, the company is making a big leap into a truly all-American segment: heavy-duty trucks. And this time, it's not about stopping short on a race track.
