This applies to standard non-CCB brakes as well. BMW & Audi uses electronically adjusted caliper pistons that lock the rotor when activated. That's why on most exotic cars you see two calipers mounted in the rear, the smaller one being independently used for Parking.
As far as I know, MB AMG is the only one who still uses electronic axle lock for the park brake, allowing them to have electronic park brake and sealed rear calipers. Early F01 750's had the same concept but it was flaw'd. MB has way more experience with BBK's so I'm not surprised they have it all under control. |
By "electronic axle lock" are you talking about drum brakes like the F30/F80? Because my Chevy SS has 4 piston fixed rear calipers with an electronic parking brake using the same method. I'm fairly certain the Camaro SS has the same brake package as well. I'm sure there are a fair number of GM performance cars with this kind of setup. Some even resort to using both fixed AND floating calipers to accomplish this which I personally think is just sloppy considering fixed caliper brakes are 90% a visual upgrade to begin with.
