| Carbon fiber in the automotive industry | ||||||||||||||||
| Back to Automotive Page | ||||||||||||||||
| While carbon fiber is widely used for many components of modern race cars and motorcycles, it is also used in many of today';s high performance street cars (and motorcycles) to help reduce the weight of the vehicles therefore increasing their performance. Below are several pictures of street legal cars (and a motorcycle) that all make extensive use of carbon fiber in their construction for things such as body panels, brakes (Ferrari), and chassis elements. | ||||||||||||||||
