What are the benefits of using ceramic brakes in an Audi R8?

I've heard that ceramic brakes are an option for the Audi R8, but I'm not sure if they're worth the extra cost. Can someone explain the advantages of ceramic brakes and if they're a worthwhile investment?

Hi Hannah, ceramic brakes offer several benefits for the Audi R8. They have better heat dissipation, which means they are less likely to overheat and lose braking performance during intense driving. They also have a longer lifespan and are less prone to wear and tear compared to traditional brakes.

In my experience, the ceramic brakes on my Audi R8 have a much better feel and response compared to traditional brakes. They offer a more direct and precise braking experience, making them well worth the extra cost.
