Reducing weight in the roof of a car is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, the roof is located at the highest point of the vehicle, which means that any weight in this area has a significant impact on the car's center of gravity. A heavier roof can cause the weight to shift dramatically during high-speed driving or cornering, which can compromise the car's handling and stability. Secondly, a lighter roof can also reduce the overall weight of the vehicle, improving its acceleration, braking, and fuel efficiency. Finally, the roof is typically one of the largest and heaviest body panels on a car, which makes it an ideal target for weight reduction. By using lightweight materials like prepreg carbon fiber, manufacturers can significantly reduce the weight of the roof while maintaining its structural integrity and improving the overall performance of the vehicle.
Introducing the 4SRC prepreg carbon fiber roof, the perfect solution for reducing weight and improving the performance of your vehicle. This replacement roof weighs just 2.11kg, compared to the stock roof skin at 7.4kg, resulting in a weight savings of over 5kg in the center of the car. The gloss finish option weighs just under 2.4kg, making it one of the lightest and strongest roofs on the market.
Our 4SRC prepreg carbon fiber roof is manufactured using the latest autoclave technology, which ensures that each panel is incredibly strong and lightweight. Unlike traditional vacuum infusion methods used by other manufacturers, our prepreg carbon fiber material is woven using 2x2 3k carbon, resulting in a much stronger and lighter product. Additionally, this product sets itself apart from others on the market with wet carbon and heavy gel coat/resin, providing unmatched performance and durability.
Reducing weight in the car's roof is particularly crucial since the center of gravity is located at the highest point of the vehicle. A heavier roof can cause significant weight shifts during high-speed driving or cornering, compromising vehicle handling. However, our 4SRC prepreg carbon fiber roof is an exceptional accomplishment in the pursuit of weight reduction, making it an ideal upgrade for any car enthusiast looking to improve their vehicle's performance.
