Ferrari evolves as a beast – in 4 years it has jumped roughly 100 horsepower, but its fuel consumption and emissions has got down nearly 30 percent. And step by step Ferrari’s cars become faster and hotter thanks to engine tuning, aerodynamics, tires and other upgrades.
But it’s much easier to accelerate and control a light weight, that’s why Ferrari uses various exotic materials and lightweight structural components. To illustrate its carbon-fiber architecture Ferrari has displayed the body of the future F70 Enzo. Developed with help from Ferrari's Formula One Chief Designer, Rory Byrne, the carbon fiber structure looks to support a mid-engined layout and provides spaces for upward-swinging doors.
Ferrari says that it sought for alternatives to conventional carbon fiber manufacturing techniques. Instead, methods and materials were shared by Scuderia Ferrari, using four different types of carbon fiber – all hand-laminated.
But what is the result of using such carbon-fiber structure? According to Ferrari, the chassis becomes 20 percent lighter than the Enzo, even with the added weight necessitated by hybrid components.
