The brakes for the 2013-2016 Ferrari LaFerrari are specifically designed for this model and are not compatible with other Ferrari models. They feature carbon-ceramic discs with a diameter of 398 mm at the front and 380 mm at the rear, paired with six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers. Always verify compatibility with your vehicle's specifications before purchasing or installing.

Q2

What are the maintenance requirements for the LaFerrari's braking system?

The LaFerrari's braking system requires regular inspections every 10,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first. Key maintenance tasks include checking brake pad thickness, monitoring brake fluid levels, and inspecting the carbon-ceramic discs for wear or damage. Brake fluid should be replaced every two years to ensure optimal performance. Always follow Ferrari's recommended maintenance schedule for safety and longevity.

Q3

How do I replace the brake pads on a 2013-2016 Ferrari LaFerrari?

To replace the brake pads on a LaFerrari, first, lift the vehicle using a hydraulic jack and secure it on stands. Remove the wheels to access the brake calipers. Use a torque wrench to loosen the caliper bolts, then carefully remove the old pads. Install the new pads, ensuring they are properly aligned. Reattach the calipers and wheels, and torque all bolts to the manufacturer's specifications. Test the brakes before driving.

Q4

What should I do if the LaFerrari's brakes feel spongy or unresponsive?

If the brakes feel spongy or unresponsive, first check the brake fluid level and top it up if necessary. Inspect the brake lines for leaks or damage. If the issue persists, bleed the brake system to remove air bubbles. If the problem continues, have the brake pads, discs, and calipers inspected by a certified Ferrari technician to identify and resolve the issue.

Q5

How can I optimize the performance of the LaFerrari's braking system?

To optimize braking performance, ensure the carbon-ceramic discs and pads are in excellent condition. Use high-quality brake fluid with a high boiling point to prevent fade during intense driving. Regularly clean the brake components to remove dust and debris. For track use, consider upgrading to performance-oriented brake pads and ensure proper bedding-in procedures are followed.
