2008 GTS brake question

Are the brakes on a 2008 GTS the same as on a S, Turbo or Turbo S?

They are the same in red color as the turbo but smaller than turbo in size but larger than S.

The calipers are red like the Turbos, but believe the GTS brakes are indeed smaller than those found on the Turbos. I would ping one of our board sponsors or dealers... Champion, Suncoast, Sunset guys should be able to help.

Gentlemen,

The S, Turbo and GTS use the same brakes. The Turbo S however uses a different upgraded brake package.

Please let me know if there is anything else we can help you out with.

That's what I thought too. Even though the S has silver calipers instead of red like the tubo, the brakes are the same. The Cayenne goes against traditional branding standards in several areas. As an example, since it's an AWD vehicle, shouldn't it really be a Cayenne 4, or a Cayenne 4S? Also, I would expect the S to have red calipers since it shares brakes with the turbo, just like the 911 series does. Oh well... I guess logic isn't always a key part of automobile marketing.
