Ive seen double caliper set up like that before but on the rear only......the extra caliper was used as a stand alone hydraulic E-brake on drift cars....
R. Millen has that set up on his Redbull solstice...
I fail to see the point on the front other than what that picture looks like.....a show queen..

Well it clearly was designed from the standpoint of more clamping area and piston count will maximize braking effectiveness, but obviously one would have to run inferior pads to keep the rotor from melting under the nearly twice as much heat that would be created -- and tires are what limit you in the end anyways.
A dual caliper design might stop the car better than a high quality standard BBK once, but on the track where thermodynamics is king, it would be completely useless.
Cute idea, though.
got loaded question..? loaded answer... if you have a rear bbk, and a proportioning valve, then it won't
How would a P valve fix the bias? You can only limit bias with that. So essentially, one would negating all the front bbk work by reducing the front braking force to get the bias % back in order.
And unless those pistons are tiny as hell, I couldn't imagine the brake pedal travel that setup would cause.
