Fast F8X Facts #002 … The braking calibration will compare the longitudinal deceleration (G-force) to the amount of brake pedal force being applied.

If this value isn’t sufficient the ABS system will apply additional braking force to generate the target deceleration rate. It can even push all four wheels into ABS engagement range if needed!
