Lightweight construction in a super sports car: AUDI relied on innovative lightweight construction expertise from SAERTEX for the structural B-pillar of the Lamborghini Huracán - with tailor-made carbon fabrics for maximum performance with minimum weight.
The idea
For the Lamborghini Huracán, AUDI was looking for a structural lightweight solution for the B-pillar - a key component for safety and stability. The aim was to achieve a reduction in weight without compromising on performance or crash safety. The use of carbon fiber composites offered the greatest potential.
reinforcing this idea
As an expert in multiaxial carbon fabrics, SAERTEX was involved in the development phase at an early stage. Together with AUDI, we developed a specific solution based on Carbon Non-Crimp Fabrics (NCF). This technical textile was specially optimized for the automotive industry.
Technical advantages
High drapability for complex component geometries
Very good permeability for efficient resin infusion
Reproducible quality assurance for series applications
The success story
The Lamborghini Huracán is an impressive example of the successful integration of carbon fiber reinforcement materials in a high-performance vehicle. The collaboration between SAERTEX and AUDI shows how innovative material solutions and customized manufacturing processes are shaping the future of structural lightweight construction in automotive engineering. The use of SAERTEX carbon fiber fabrics for the B-pillar of the Lamborghini Huracán not only reduced the vehicle weight, but also achieved a new level of performance, safety and efficiency - a proof of the strength of composite materials in the automotive industry.
