Lol carbon fiber camo... that's actually a cool name..I like it.. Its forged carbon, a process that Lamborghini developed. Its chunks/pieces of Carbon that are pressed in a process. No weaving, that's what makes more desirable in many applications. Its essentially an upgrade to regular carbon fiber due to its increased strength and work ability, You are able to drill and cut and it wont fray like regular carbon fiber, lower resistance than CF, lower modules of elasticity than aluminum. Just all around superior composite. Lambo used it in control arms and even made connecting rods reducing weight by 30%. Now that being said, in this application here its really just for show. This probably best sums it up, If your looking to develop a part for a vehicle, small or large, that needs to be drilled a lot because of fastening and is stronger and lighter than aluminum then forged carbon is the way to go. If your looking for that classic race look and just a lighter stronger application, Carbon fiber is your choice. Its definitely an acquired look.

Are we going to have to add a Forged CF division to our company? If so, I made need to acquire an additional warehouse.

Yes sir... Make some A-Arms in forged carbon...
Are these going to be available for sale?
The short answer is I think I will give the people who didn't win the raffle a chance to order (and mirror replacements when they are made) and take their 50 dollar entry fee off the price. I think there a couple of people who really want the forged and not just saying ehhh I'll take a shot for 50 bucks. So the answer is kinda a yes and no.

It’s pretty sick! I think your a few years ahead of the aftermarket with this one.
Is the forged carbon strong enough for the arms and the stress of Baja? My impression of forged is that is easier to work with but not as strong as the weaved carbon and that is why Lamborghini has only been using it for nonstructural components? Not critical just trying to learn more always.

I'm trying to decide if I like the look, LOL. I've always like the uniformity in the weave of carbon fiber stuff. This is really different, really out there!
