Carbon Fiber Cars

McLaren utilizes carbon fiber monocoque chassis on their supercars, creating a stronger, lighter, and much more resistant car. In fact, McLaren was the very first automobile company to use a carbon fiber composite chassis on their MP4/1 Formula One race car in 1981. Carbon fiber has a phenomenally stable structure that is much more durable than steel but lighter in weight. That is why McLaren and many other automobiles utilize this material, as it significantly increases passenger and vehicle safety.
