McLaren: 40 years in the lead in automotive carbon fiber

Abstract

Carbon fiber is a car enthusiast's favorite material. It not only makes cars stronger and lighter, faster and more energy efficient, it also gives them motorsport credibility. Unfortunately, carbon fiber composite parts are expensive. Even supercar manufacturers like Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini have only managed to build one or two road car models with a carbon fiber chassis.
