Revo Releases Big Brake Kit Upgrade Kit

Improves stopping power under any condition!

Revo recommends increased braking performance any time you are adding more power to your vehicle. If you’re capable of achieving higher speed, your vehicle needs to deal with that speed safely and reliably.

The Revo by Alcon Big Brake Kit is engineered to improve your vehicles stopping power in any condition. Our Big Brake Kit is derived from race winning technology and capable of delivering consistent stopping power whether coming up to a stoplight or a 2nd gear corner at the end of a 140mph straight on your favorite track, you can rely on this system stop after stop!

Brake Calipers:

revo-disc

Revo by Alcon Calipers are cast from one piece of aluminum. The single casting design creates an incredibly stiff monoblock caliper. This monoblock design means significantly less flex in the caliper than other manufacturing processes and allows for less pedal travel as the brake fluid is only applying force to the Pistons and not flexing the body of the caliper itself. In short, more of your braking effort is translated directly from your foot, to the Pistons, to the pads and then to the rotors. This leads to improved and repeatable braking performance.

Floating Rotors:

A “Floating Rotor” design has been used all over the world in motorsport applications for many years. The rotors found on most race vehicles have too much float for a daily driven vehicle causing more noise than most would want from their road car. We have engineered a unique noise reducing method which eliminates noise while allowing for the thermal expansion associated with repeated high speed braking.

BENEFITS

  • Eliminates fade & warping
  • Quicker reaction time
  • Improved pedal feel
  • Lightweight
  • Lower long-term maintenance costs
  • Easy installation

TESTING

To ensure our brake kit would meet the constant high stress driving of track days, sprints and fast road driving we punished our kits to the maximum. Constant heavy braking testing was carried out to ensure no fade occurred back to back against stock braking system on our MK7 VW Golf R. As well as the track testing 10 runs of back to back 60-0mph and 100-0mph was done to show the benefit of the Revo braking system. As well as measuring the stopping distances and times over the 10 runs of each speed thermal testing was also done to show the difference in heat displacement over our 2 piece floating design against a factory 1 piece design

Watch: The Stig Drives (nearly) Seven Generations of Golf GTI

With Volkswagen announcing “major” updates to the Golf, it seems an appropriate time to look back on what we’ve had so far. And who better to guide us through the rich history of the most popular European car ever made than Ben Collins, the former Stig? Some say he’s never met a GTI he doesn’t love, and that he can’t grow any of his own facial hair. All we know is … Ben Collins is actually a pretty solid presenter. Working his way through seven generations of the GTI (skipping over the Mk6) Collins tells us a little bit about each one and matches each mark to its corresponding facial hair craze. The Mk1 GTI for instance, is light and quick, but can lose traction under hard acceleration (in heavy rain). Despite that, Collins calls the Mk1 a “pure gem.” The Mk4, meanwhile, is a powerful return to form after the perhaps too sensible Mk3. Collins ends in the only way he could, with the Mk7, which accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Countach and is all kinds of wonderful. Watch, ...

Watch: The Story of the Ads that Made VW Big in America

The ads for the original Beetle are almost as famous and well-loved as the Beetle itself. Looking back now it’s easy to forget, though, just how easily things could have wrong. A new short from Dial M Films tracks the history of those early Volkswagen ads that sold America on the people’s car. The story, of course, begins with the visionary agency that made the ads: Doyle Dane Bernach (DDB). As a popular agency for Jewish products, no agency was more aware of the implications of Volkswagen, and no one, it seems, was more skeptical of the brand than DDB. “Remember Those Great Volkswagen Ads?” from Dial M Films on Vimeo . William Bernbach, though, was adament that the firm take the client, probably as a way of attracting other lucrative automotive clients. Saddled with a client that he didn’t want, art director Helmut Krone says in the film that he originally came up with ads that were all wrong. Krone tried to do what other manufacturers did and was intent on selling the Beetle ...

Watch: The Zerouno Cruis’n USA

ItalDesign is drumming up excitement for its new supercar based around the same 5.2-liter Audi V10 that powers the R8. Naturally, it hit the road for a cruise around California last week to celebrate Monterey Car Week. There isn’t much in the way of V10 noise—which is a real shame given the sound it makes—but you do at least get a good look at the car inside and out in this video. With a body made entirely of carbon fiber and designed to be as aerodynamic and light as possible, ItalDesign figures that it will be good for a 0-60 time of just 3.2 seconds. “We put it our best skills into the production of the first car,” said Massimo Bovi, head of pre-series production, when the Zerouno was first unveiled in Geneva earlier this year. “Using some of the finest productions methods and engaging our high-skilled workers.” The car features clever aero tricks gleaned from single-seat racing, like a y-duct up front to improve downforce and turn-in. Available in a number of trim levels, the...
