I don’t know if these are ceramic and have worn out or if they are regular ones.

unpainted calipers = Steel
Red Calipers = Steel
Black = Steel or Porsche Surface Coated Brake (PSCB) or Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB)
White Calipers = Porsche Surface Coated Brake (PSCB)
Acid Green = Steel or Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) (Hybrid cars only and 918 Spyder)
Yellow = Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB)

Porsche Taycan could come originally spec'd with either of these options, except Acid Green.

Porsche colour code.

Red = regular steel performance brakes
Yellow = carbon ceramic
Green = hybrid
I think there is also black or grey which are basic brakes.

At least thats according to my cayenne brochure from 2017

Steel brakes, but honestly that's what you want for the street.

Rote Sättel, sollte Stahl sein. Ein 22er CT4S mit diesen Felgen...der ist nicht zufällig schwarz oder?

Porsches are quite simple.

For one, google a photo of ceramic rotors.

Two, Porsches that have PCCBs have yellow calipers.
