PORSCHE 911 TURBO S 992 CERAMIC BRAKE BRAKE CALIPERS BLACK

In 2026, the Black High-Gloss finish for the PCCB (Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake) calipers is a highly popular “stealth” option for the 911 (992) Turbo S. While the traditional PCCB color is Yellow, Porsche offers these factory-painted black calipers for owners who prefer a more understated look for their $420\text{mm}$ front and $390\text{mm}$ rear brakes.

1. Component Overview

The 992 Turbo S utilizes the largest braking system in the Carrera lineup. When ordering these as “New,” you are typically buying the calipers as individual units.

• Front Calipers: Massive 10-piston aluminum monobloc units.

• Rear Calipers: 4-piston aluminum monobloc units.

• Finish: High-Gloss Black with the “PORSCHE” logo in White.

• Compatibility: Designed exclusively for the $420\text{mm}$ (front) and $390\text{mm}$ (rear) ceramic rotors.

2. 2026 Market Pricing (New)

Buying the calipers in Black usually carries a slight premium over the standard Yellow units if sourced as a retrofit kit, though the individual parts are priced similarly at the dealership.

3. Why Choose Black (041 Finish Code)?

• Aesthetics: Complements the “Turbo S Exclusive Design” wheels, especially those with black accents.

• Heat Management: The high-gloss finish is designed to withstand the extreme temperatures generated by the ceramic discs without discoloring (unlike aftermarket powder coating which can “tea-stain” under track use).

• Resale: Genuine factory-black calipers (Option code 1LX) are highly desirable on the used market in 2026 for “OEM+” builds.

4. Technical Installation Tips

• Brake Fluid: Porsche specifies Porsche Brake Fluid (DOT 4 Low Viscosity). For a Turbo S, ensuring the fluid is fresh is critical for the 10-piston actuators to move in perfect sync.

• Bleeding Sequence: The 10-piston front calipers have three bleed nipples each. They must be bled in a specific order (inner, then outer top, then outer bottom) to ensure no air is trapped in the massive internal galleries.

• Coding: If you are swapping from Yellow to Black, no coding is required. However, if you are upgrading a standard 992 (Red brakes) to these PCCB Black calipers, you must update the ABS/PSM software via PIWIS to account for the 10-piston master cylinder pressure.

5. Authenticity Check

Beware of “painted” calipers sold as original. A genuine Porsche High-Gloss Black caliper:

1. Has the color code 041 in the Porsche parts catalog.

2. Features the logo under the clear coat, not as a sticker on top.

3. Includes the factory-installed vibration dampers (counterweights) specific to the 992 Turbo S.
