Not a lover of 6 pots on my bike, I prefer 4 pots.
The 6's do have smaller lead pistons that contact first but this makes the lever long and less firm.
What's the benefit for cars?
Certainly look tasty, ok for show trucks I suppose where they will be seen under big alloys.
Are they producing bigger rotors for them too?

The Brembos on the L322 are a force to be reckoned with.
Oh yes can tell you they stop a loaded L322 on a penny!
Lukes doing discs to match the calipers as well

Would have thought they would be one piece billet items and not bolt through just for strength??? All depends on the cost of them I suppose

Most calipers of that type are in two halves anyway.

normally high end ones are single piece ones as I said depends on the cost

No standard or even mildly modded Landy needs these imo.
Same with the clutches really, standard clutches are fine with quite a bit more torque going through them.. its mainly how the vehicle is driven in my opinion... same as any vehicle!
When you think you can put a prepped 3.5 in a series and just upgrade the shoes and drums to 109 items rather than discs, and they perform more than adequately, I'd say these are overkill for people with money to burn!

Tbf those calipers and discs have gone on a 5L Mustang V8 110 so they are needed
My standard clutch which was in good nick was starting to slip after a few months with the turbo added!

More than youd think. 4x4 fab, DT engine, tweaked automotive turn out around 10 - 15 a year. Wildcat do less but much more spendy.
Ive seen quite a few smaller workshops building a few as well, not to mention the home brew versions (4 builds on Def2 and 3 on here)
So fair few!
Then theres all the race trucks on top that want mega stopping power and people that like shiny bits
