Impressive machine, powered by a V10 engine, this makes it a hardcore autobahn stormer.

Didn't know it comes with a 7 speed (SMG) gearbox.

Basically when braking hard all the time, your brakes heat up and therefore expand. With fixed brake calipers this means the brake disc will expand into the brake caliper which will decrease braking performance.

Floating brake calipers allow for this expansion by moving and in theory braking remains just as good after hard use.
