whats brake fade?

isnt it possible to get allround brakes, one with lots of space to push the peddle down, where if you put it down just afew cms you can slow down smoothly from 20kmh and if your going 100mph you can slow down heaps fast from there by pushing the brakes down more.


i havent had much experiance with braking in cars,
like locking the brakes at mid range speeds (80-90mph) or braking at high speeds, but in my car the brakes overheat badly when i go on the expressway for 30 minutes, it seems hard to lock the brakes at any speed over 40kmh once they have heated up

when i "borrowed" my dads merc c200 i noticed the brakes just wanted to stop the car completly at 50kmh, it didnt have much room between slowing down slowly from 50 to stopping on a dime, why cant they make nice strong brakes that can also brake smoothly with ease at low speeds.
