Carbon Fiber & Other Composite Materials in the New Lambroghini Murcielago


Carbon-fiber will be used throughout the chassis of a new high-performance version the Lamborghini called the Murcielago Strada. Motorauthority.com said:

The Strada model is designed in the style of the race-spec Murcielago R-GT, and carbon-fiber is used extensively throughout the chassis to lighten the car - in fact, the front splitter, rear diffuser and rear wing are all manufactured from the advanced composite material.
