It almost looks like a bike rotor with 2 bike sized calipers retrofitted to a car? :icon08:

Googled it up, looks like they are called "scalloped rotors"

^scroll down.

Doubt it has any advantage over full surfaced rotors other than weight. Never seen this on a car before though. Pretty cool design.

They use these on the front brakes in a lot of drift cars. Obviously the goal for those cars is to bring the rear around so they put a less effective brake on the front.

I would not put these on anything but go-karts or drift cars.

No mass at all, they would be cooked in an instant if used for normal tracking.

Yes, only for drift cars........Many of the Formula D vehicles have that particular set up.

dont forget midget/sprint cars, and full drag setups. although midget/sprint like the alluminum versions.

Looks cool. I don't get why it they would install what looks to be a 4-piston, possibly 8-piston caliper set-up if you want the brakes to be less effective. I'm guessing it's to compensate for the decreased rotor surface area?
