How it is workable ?

All over the map, beyond the expectations, vehicle makers are predominantly on raising the better performance coupled with cost-effectiveness and increased production to accommodate the ever-growing demand of consumers. By tuning the engine and few adaptations may boost up the speed, but to reach the high scaled performance and to fulfill the expectations, few more changes are required. Further how can it be improved?. There is a possibility while replacing fewer heavy components with tissue-like materials. The material named Carbon-fiber, which is super-strong with lightweight, would be preferred for achieving the staggering performance.
Most components in vehicles are shaped using steel and aluminum. Altering this material with carbon fiber will help to reduce the heaviness of the vehicle. Because carbon fiber used here is a composite material, which is bound with polymers, has a high strength to weight ratio and density is just 1.93g/cm3 (almost 70% lighter than steel and 40% lighter than aluminum). So it is applicable for opposing steel without any compromise in strength.
The cost of including these carbon fiber composites in normal cars gets troubled however, using low-cost composites, cost reduction may be feasible. According to the United States Department Of Energy, the strategic use of carbon fiber could cut the weight of cars by up to 70%. Even reducing vehicle weight by only 10% will result in a 4% – 5% reduction in fuel use in passenger cars and cut down the emissions up to 20%. From a safety perspective, carbon fiber behaves just as same as steel.
John Barnard, an engineer from McLaren, introduces the first self-supporting chassis from carbon fiber, which had proved by implementing it in formula one.
