    RSQ8 Ceramic Brakes on 2025 MY

    Anyone know why this now shows us just a $500 option of "Ceramic brakes with red calipers" instead of the old ~$8,500 option? I haven't seen anything noting that ceramic is standard now, so curious why.

    I just received my 2025 RSQ8 and the carbon ceramics were part of the package. Perhaps with the performance model being as the only option in North America, they are cutting some of the options and adding more value to it. Maybe it is part of the Dynamic Pkg now...Not sure why but it wasn't an additional item for mine...

    Only the RSQ8 Performance will be coming the US. It comes standard with ceramic brakes. The $500 is to have them painted red vs the standard gray.
