Carbon fiber offers several benefits when used in
automobile parts, but these composites were not
initially designed for this purpose. They were
originally designed for aircraft applications,
according to CNET.

Weight The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)
says that carbon-fiber composites can reduce a
car's weight by up to 60 percent. The
government's Fuel Economy website says that
reducing a vehicle's weight by just 100 pounds
will increase your fuel economy by about two
percent. Carbon fiber also benefits race car
drivers, as the weight of a vehicle affects the
acceleration and overall speed of the car.

Repair Costs Carbon fiber does not corrode or
rust like steel. Therefore, carbon-fiber parts
can reduce or eliminate the need to replace
rusted vehicle parts, which is a problem that
becomes more likely as the car ages. Rust can
also spread over time, so carbon-fiber parts can
limit the damage caused by this problem.

Safety Although more expensive, carbon fiber is
stiffer than steel, and five times stronger.
Carbon fiber can also have a higher
energy-absorption rate than steel and can
increase safety in a collision, according to the
ORNL. Reference from http//www.ehow.com/facts_681
