It's not just the calipers though, clearly this is a G82 with some stuff tacked on and not a bespoke car worth the supposed $600K price.
The entire thing is an exercise in cost cutting. For $600K, here's the stuff you
dont get; a bespoke chassis, motor, running gear, and braking. Kind of insane. I can't imagine what a customer who purchased one sight unseen would feel. You're expecting a bespoke supercar but get this.
Now lets be clear here, this doesn't affect me whatsoever since, you know, I don't have $600K to spend on a car. So my opinion is completely moot.
Side note, the AMG GTR Black Series also has sliding rear calipers.
Truly, everyone is cutting cost and raising prices. Still, it's sad seeing what BMW is doing to their M division. No more bespoke DCT, no more huge brakes, CLAR so more weight and size yet somehow interior shrinks. Oh well.
