Brembo Carbon Ceramic Brakes have been chosen to fit the latest project created by Jay Leno’s Big Dog Garage team and GM Advanced Design and are featured on Jay Leno’s website. Click here to watch the video.

The EcoJet is Jay Leno’s long running passion project that combines automotive and jet technologies to create a biodiesel-running jet turbine vehicle. The primary goal was to design and build a car that ran on environmentally friendly, renewable bio-diesel fuel but still had the performance of a sports car. The heart of the EcoJet is a 650-horsepower Honeywell LT-101 turbine engine, which sits inside a modified Corvette Z06 hydroformed aluminum frame. This special vehicle made is debut at the SEMA show and has since captured the hearts and minds of the automotive world. With all the power that this jet turbine engine creates, it also needs serious stopping power. This is why the Brembo engineers have been asked to provide a carbon ceramic braking system.

The braking system provided by Brembo was first used in North American production on the Corvette ZR1 and is similar to the systems used on the Ferrari Enzo and all the latest Ferrari models. These state-of-the-art technology brakes will not only add the stopping power that is needed for the vehicle but will provide weight saving, contribute to produce fewer emissions and provide improved vehicle efficiency and dynamics.

The Ecojet Carbon Ceramic brake system include :

Front and Rear
6-piston monobloc aluminum caliper
Cross-drilled carbon ceramic discs (15.5”)
