Without a doubt, arguably, the most composite material use is in the Automotive and Motorsport industries. Favoured due to it’s outstanding properties including being lightweight, highly rigid, and having attractive appearance, Advanced Composite Materials like Carbon Fibre and Kevlar Aramid Fibre display performance properties that conventional materials like Metal and Aluminium are unable to match.
Advantages of Composite Materials for use in automotive and motorsport parts are;
- 30-40% lighter than Aluminium
- 5x stronger than steel
- Low thermal expansion
- High strength
- Pleasing appearance
Superleggera has manufactured carbon fibre and kevlar parts for Drag Racing, V8 supercars, Porsche Cup, Desert Racing, Time Attack, Jet Boat Racing, RC Model Racing, prestige motorcycles and sportscars. We have acquired experience in understanding the development of composite material use in the Motorsport and Automotive industries over the past 20 years, and this period in the last 100 years has been when these materials have emerged with ever increasing relevance to improving performance and appeal as a superior choice for certain parts used on these machines.
We are familiar with the level of technologies used in relation to methods and materials that are preferred by the different categories of motorsport, as well as the styles and finishes displayed by the various prestige brand manufacturers on their motorcycles and vehicles.
