Assuming the second caliper is for the e-brake system, but why? It's a bit confusing to me for a few reasons:
1) why can't it be incorporated like almost every other car?
2) am I the only one that thinks it looks "clunky?"
3) if the engineers are so weight conscious, why add seemingly unnecessary weight where it hurts most (un-sprung weight)?
Does it just have to do with carbon ceramic brakes? Is it because there is going to be an electronic parking brake? I'm sure other manufacturers have managed to do all of this with one caliper per wheel.
So what gives?
