abstract="Carbon fibre composites can offer a great deal of weight saving and manufacturing flexibility in the design of a high performance vehicle, while decades of research in metal science have produced manufacturing techniques that guarantee perfect surface finish, alloys that can withstand weathering agents during the lifetime of a vehicle and very reliable joining methods, these relatively new materials require constant evaluation in automotive applications to ensure equal if not greater performance than their metallic counterpart. This paper highlights the fundamental contributions of advanced composites in the production of the body panels and integrated chassis components for the Murcielago and Murcielago Roadster.<p />",
