carbon fiber just weights less than traditional aluminum. they use it on alot of higer end cars so that weight their power to weight ratio will be better. Most SUV's and high performance cars have carbon fiber roofs to keep the center of gravity lower, thus giving you better grip and such.

The pod, (the shell around the driver) is made out of "Carbon Fiber", excluding the metal parts, a combination of plastic, fiber-glass and again carbon fiber. Answerwhat is a car made ofCarbon FibreThe various components are made of different materials the chassis is usually made of carbon fibre, which is lighter and relatively stronger as compared to most metals.alternatively graphite fiber, carbon graphite or CF, is a material consisting of extremely thin fibers about 0.005-0.010 mm in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. The carbon atoms are bonded together in microscopic crystals that are more or less aligned parallel to the long axis of the fiber. The crystal alignment makes the fiber very strong for its size. Several thousand carbon fibers are twisted together to form a yarn, which may be used by itself or woven into a fabric. Carbon fiber has many different weave patterns and can be combined with a plastic resin and wound or molded to form composite materials such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic (also referenced as carbon fiber) to provide a high strength-to-weight ratio material.


How easy is it to repair a Ferrari enzo?

You alone cannot repair it. If you are talking about body work. The car is carbon fiber, and if you are asking this question, i feel that you lack the skills to repair a carbon fiber car.


How is fiber used?

Carbon fiber can be be used for so many different things. It was mostly used for racecars beause its very lightweight. Carbon fiber is now being used (in very smal amounts) on cars. Carbon fiber canot be used to make a whole car because its very expensive and if the car is broken and cannot be used again, its very hard to recycle. You can make alomost anything out of carbon fiber.
