Saw one of these last night, nothing too different to look at, but there appeared to be 2 sets of brake callipers on the rear wheels, is it one for braking and one for hand brake? If it is does it really make a difference?

I was looking at the new lambo in EVO the other day and that also appeared to have two sets of rear calipers.

I had a S type R for 18 days...on the road and a further 62 off the road with faults being attended to...

One of the worst depreciating cars on the market as well. Don't get one!
