Prototype brakes?!

It wouldnt surprise me for a "development" car to get a beefed up brake system for tuning at the track. It lets them do lap-after-lap to tune stuff (suspension, ecu, etc...), without a known weak spot slowing them down. Not that the OEM brembos are *bad*, but they dont let you go balls to the wall for hours at a time.

Could be. Could also be something they never considered for the actual car, but needed for testing.
I think if they were an option it wouldnt be "prototype" brakes, but "optional."
As I said, I think they knew the brakes werent serious enough, so while they were turning something else (aero, suspension settings, etc...) they had those on there so they could keep going. Same thing with the radiator, or oilpan. Something that takes away that particular restriction, so you can test others. Or do tests more quickly.
IIRC those look very much like brembo 6-pots
