FORD introduces carbon fiber wheels in Shelby GT350R

MANILA: Carbon Fiber wheels from the day of its inception have brought a revolution in the automotive industry. High Performance and efficiency are synonymous to these aluminum-free wheels. Though initially used only in track-versions of the cars like Porsche, BMW M3, Audi R8, Lamborghini and McLaren MP4-12C, their presence will soon be felt on the roads along which we walk. One such car-maker who has dipped its hand in this black material is Ford.

Ford has come up with a upgraded version of its Shelby GT350R Mustang, that will now feature the hi-tech carbon fiber wheels. The question that struck many minds and would has bothered you too, that how the CF wheels have an edge over the normal aluminum wheels. Basically the carbon fiber wheels are light-weight wheels, with each wheel measuring just 18 pounds as compared to the aluminum wheels that weight 33 pounds. Thus reducing the overall curb weight of the car, this reduction further enhances vehicles performance, giving topnotch benefits to its handling and acceleration. Another notable benefit provided by these Carbon fiber wheels is reduced rotational inertia by 40%, that will unmistakably improve the breaking system with respect to acceleration.

These wounder-wheels produced by Australian supplier Carbon Revolution, are at a risk of damage from the UV degradation and road salt and so to protect these carbon fiber resins, they have received a special coat. Apart from this a ceramic spray coating is also done on the front wheels barrels and back of the spokes, in order to reduce the maximum wheel temperature (900 degree Celsius) and thus increasing its life span.

Knowing all this, all one will desire is a glimpse of this master-piece, but there is only one person , the quality inspector at Ford who will get see these marvels in their original form, because before making their way to the out-side world, a thick-high-gloss finish will cover them.

Making its way at the end on this year, we have to wait and see how this carbon fiber equipped monster will rule the roads.
