Great "how it's made" video.  

However:
"That kind of power on wheels requires light weight, and cast iron is very heavy. It would also wear out too quickly, due to the intense heat friction generates when you brake a car with such a powerful engine."

1. More power does NOT require light weight. More power tends to shrug off excess weight. Lighter weight discs would be a benefit on any car of any power since it makes more efficient use of power and requires less brake friction to slow the wheel rotation.

2. I guarantee that our Honda minivan, at a very meager 250-ish hp, generates more heat during braking than any Porsche. Because it weighs more - plain and simple. And it does so on cast iron discs. How do we not die on a daily basis? Let that sink in.

The expensive ceramic disc has a very appropriate and good home sitting on Porsche axles, and I think the tech is way-bad-cool. But more power does NOT require light weight, and powerful engines do not, in and of themselves, cause more braking friction.  The benefits of a ceramic disc are more about how the car is likely to be driven than anything else.
