It is rare to find a new sports car or supercar that does not use carbon fiber, as this material is now widely used in the automotive industry, both in regular commercial cars and in racing cars.
Car companies have come to rely heavily on it in their cars for several reasons, including its light weight, great strength, and high durability, in addition to its beautiful shape, which enhances the car's aesthetics and gives it a sporty look, as well as reflecting the image of an expensive car with high specifications.

Why is carbon fiber used in the automotive industry?
The reasons why car manufacturers use carbon fiber are as follows:
Lightweight
One of the most important features of carbon fiber is that it is very lightweight, so using it extensively in a car makes it lighter, which is very important and sensitive for sports cars and supercars. Weight is a key factor in achieving the best performance, control, and braking, not to mention reducing fuel consumption as well, because the engine runs smoothly and the weight of the car is suitable for it.
Strength
Carbon fiber is so strong that it is stronger than steel, which means it withstands impacts and shocks better than other materials used in car manufacturing. When compared to its weight, it is the perfect combination for manufacturing sports cars.
Durability
Another advantage of carbon fiber is that it is a durable material that is resistant to rust and damage, as well as highly resistant to scratches, impacts, weather conditions, and simple chemicals. This makes it suitable for the automotive industry because it lasts a long time and does not require repair and replacement costs like other parts, especially exterior parts such as body parts.

Easy to use
Carbon fiber is easy to use when it comes to design, as it can be shaped into any design, size, and part of the car. In fact, there are cars whose interior and exterior bodies are made entirely of carbon fiber, and it can be made in several colors and shapes to suit all tastes and car categories.
Improves performance
The light weight and high strength-to-weight ratio of carbon fiber improve car performance by reducing overall weight, which improves acceleration, braking, and control. These factors are very important in any car, especially sports cars and race cars.
Reduces fuel consumption
As mentioned earlier, carbon fiber is lightweight, which makes the car itself lighter than those that do not contain carbon fiber. Therefore, lightweight means reduced fuel consumption compared to other cars.

Absorbs vibrations
Carbon fiber has natural sound insulation properties, which means that cars equipped with it are quieter on the road, as they have the ability to absorb vibrations and noise caused by roads, potholes, bumps, and other factors. This makes driving more comfortable, smoother, and more enjoyable, especially in sports cars, which are usually harsh on the road.
