Answer 1

Just to give an example:
A small cheap car with let’s say 75 hp only need small brakes.

While a expensive fast car with 200hp needs way bigger and stronger brakes.

But they will live as long the other one.

​

So if you need to change your brakes every X miles/kilometers it will be more expensive for the luxury car.

The same goes for many other parts or the car.
