I have had many cars with brembo calipers and never had one shaped as such.
Is this where some sensors reside? Ifso, why have i never seen this before on comparable platforms?
just curious about the big buc tooth, is all, i guess.
happy Sunday.
It's been discussed before. Mass damper for noise/vibration. Audi probably went a little overboard in making the car quiet as some have removed it and reported no change in noise or performance. Other models have the mass dampers on the bolts attaching the caliper on the backside.
