They are made from a ceramic composite materials. They are good for brakes because they offer great heat resistance which reduces damage to the brakes from use over time. This makes them good for highspeed driving.

Whilst having strong properties. Can be used as steering wheel and door linings within the car. With its great thermal stability and heat resistant give it durability and security it’s corrosion resistant property adds to this aswell giving the material a long life span. Unlike steel that’s heavy and susceptible to corrosion without coating

Body Panels: Used for hoods, roofs, and doors to make the car lighter, which helps with speed and fuel efficiency.

Lightweight: Carbon fibre is lighter than metals like steel, which helps with fuel efficiency and speed.

Strong: It’s super strong for its weight, making cars safer and more durable.

Expensive: Making carbon fibre is costly, so it’s usually only in high-end cars.

Hard to Repair: When it breaks, it’s hard and expensive to fix.
