Lightweight construction in the fast lane

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.
