From enquiries Ive made I believe a carbon fiber bonnet can shave 15kg off a Falcon compared to the factory steel one. In the 1980s a carbon fiber hood was a factory option. Is there any reason Ford couldnt offer this on the XR range as an option?
Also, the bootlid, does this really need to be steel? Its quite a bit of metal, surely this could be made of something lighter. Is anyone a guru on this stuff and the cost of making them?  |
