I wouldn't be surprised if Brembo did make the brakes for AMG.

the SL55 is the first mercedes-benz using a 8-capilar brake system. it doubles the braking-surface compared to other benz breaks. and belive me, a 500hp car the weights ~2000kg needs this !

actually Lambourgini has Brembo's too...they just say Lambo on the brake, but look closer, they have the (b) sign in the rear..on the new Murceilago(sp?)
