didn’t a mercedes model come with dual brake calipers in the front?
you should have looked at the difference between rear wheel drive and front wheel drive too. Front wheel drive cars tend to have the steering rack behind the engine on the firewall. So the easiest way to get the steering rack connected is at the rear so then there is no place at the rear for a brake caliper and they end up putting that in the front. Now with a rearwheel drive car they tend to put the rack under the engine mostly on the front of the crossmember. So then its easier to get the steering on the front and the brake on the back side.
I have been thinking about something, it may be very stupid, but when you increase the size of your brakes, will you ever get to a point where you can no longer get any better braking force? I mean, won’t the brakes just lock up easier? As long as the brakes has enough braking force to lock the wheels, then surely it can’t be beneficial to have more braking force, after that point, isn’t it a question of how much grip the tires has? I can’t explain this properly in english, but can anyone explain? :(
He doesn’t talk about cars that have brakes on the axles.

I’m personally wondering why some hypercars have two calipers on the rear disk and some only one ? Always figured it was for handbrake purposes ?
