Lightweight construction in the fast lane
At a time when the automotive industry is facing profound change, Ferrari remains true to its DNA: continuous development and uncompromising innovation. And this applies not only to new vehicles. The engineers in Maranello are also passionately dedicated to optimizing existing models. Through the Ferrari Genuine program, vehicles already on the market or no longer in production receive contemporary upgrades. The goal is to offer customers not just spare parts, but genuine advancements – both technically and visually.
A central theme: lightweight construction using modern materials. Carbon fiber trim elements for both the exterior and interior are particularly in demand. Ferrari recognized early on the potential of using carbon fiber beyond series production. This results in components that are either designed in classic Ferrari tradition or inspired by current design trends. And always with technical precision and attention to detail.
Carbon fiber offers decisive advantages: It is approximately 20 percent lighter than aluminum and only half the weight of steel. This lower weight translates into a noticeable improvement in performance, handling, and fuel efficiency – without compromising on stability or durability. Furthermore, carbon fiber is extremely weather-resistant, thus meeting the stringent requirements Ferrari places on its vehicles' durability.
Whether a timeless classic or a modern supercar – with the targeted use of lightweight materials, even older models remain technically up to date. A philosophy that underscores Ferrari's claim: Innovation doesn't end with the delivery of a vehicle – it really only begins there.
