Brembo is one of those behind-the-scenes companies that engineer really important things: braking systems. And as a world leader in the design, production and development of braking systems, they obviously do it very, very well. But, like many automotive component manufacturers, they aren\u2019t really famous or showy about it. You don\u2019t see any bright-red Brembo disc brakes popping out of the average Volkswagen and certainly not my Volkswagen.
