Ok, after doing a little looking I came up with these:

Ferrari's engineers have also used F1-derived "doughnuts" which partly cover the brake discs and wheel rim. These have the dual function of improving both aerodynamics and brake cooling.

The development of increasingly high-performance materials has also benefited the carbon-ceramic material braking system. The brake pads are now made from carbon-fibre which means that the calipers are smaller whilst guaranteeing the same efficiency. The new racing carbon ceramic braking system also delivers shorter braking distances and is generally more efficient due to the weight saving.

I guess these things are the next generation of uber brakes.

I really dont like the exhaust note.

No, it sounds like a V4.....its a V8 with a flat crank. they can fire the cylinders in pairs or alone depending on intake harmonics strategy. its done for exhaust pulse timing mainly.
