Lamborghini's Forged Carbon Fiber

The automotive industry as we know it has been utilizing incredible technology for the past 20 years. And one of the largest breakthroughs in lightweight composite materials is of course carbon fiber. This is perhaps the most interesting material in the world, because in it's natural state, it feels like fabric. But when exposed to high pressure and heat, the lightweight material becomes 5 times stronger than stainless steel.

Lamborghini has invented and patented a brand new way of creating solid carbon pieces for the interiors of newer cars. Shavings of solid carbon, fitted into a mold and exposed to extreme pressure and heat through a machine called an Autoclave, the finished piece not only becomes stronger, but has a very unique look. The best example of forged carbon fiber from Lamborghini is the entire body of the Sesto Elemento, which only weighs a little over 2,000lbs.

Lamborghini has always been known to make the greatest and craziest looking cars on the planet. And we have tons of brand new and pre-owned Lamborghini's which can be viewed on our website, or at our dealership, located at 330 Ogden Ave, Downer's Grove IL, 60515.
