Other than cosmetic stuff, like the Lamborghini badge where it would be more difficult to make, it doesn’t really have advantages over woven other than cost.

They only use the term forging to make it sound better, but it isn’t. Their process is like making IKEA particle board. Whereas a traditional composite part is made with woven or unidirectional fabric, much like plywood or microllam where you are taking large thin sheets of wood and laminating it together.

Only if you want to sound like a tool.

Here’s an article with pictures of the process of making the badge. http://www.motortrend.com/news/lamborghini-experimenting-chopped-fiber-suspension-parts-future-cars-37577/

At least he made the landing, unlike this guy.

It doesn’t say it was used for the rims, only body parts. There’s only a few companies that make carbon fiber rims for cars. Carbon fiber’s main strength is long continuous fibers. The epoxy is just holding it together. The “forged” composites uses small chopped strands which isn’t very strong.

One, it’s not a forging. It’s a molded composite part.

They called it a forging because it sounds better when in fact it isn’t, just cheaper. As a fellow aerospace engineering, you would know forgings have grain structure. Forged composites does not. The process is basically taking prepreg chopped strand mat and stuffing it into mold.

It’s their fancy name for stuffing chopped carbon fiber strands into a mold. It’s cheaper than laying up individual plies, but not as strong by weight. Basically it’s like particle board vs. plywood.

Even in California where liberals have full control of the entire government and have politicians on the record saying they don’t follow the constitution, have screwed up the educational system. California ranks 34 among the states in standardized college acceptance testing.

CNN must be influencing their press releases.

Alonso is currently the highest paid driver.

My college professor designed this bad boy. 3L V4, turbocharged, 500 hp.

Probably this lady.

And when it does rain, the ground effects suck up all the water so no one can see, and we end up watching laps under the safety car.

That’ll drive mechanics crazy trying to drive onto ramps or lifts.

The problem is the difficulty increases exponentially to get the last few tenths.

It could be worse, the few people that own a Bugatti EB-110, there are two fuel fillers, one on each side. Each one feeds the fuel tank that is on that side. So you have to fuel up from both sides unless you want one cylinder bank to be out of gas.

But in the case of the video, that is construe as an unsafe lane change because they cannot complete the lane change without the cop slowing down.

But that’s not the case. The other car is crossing into your lane, if you don’t hit the brakes to avoid contact, that isn’t a safe pass, which is what the vehicle in the video is doing.
