McLaren Develops AeroSpace Grade ART Carbon Fibre For Manufacturing Supercar

McLaren has developed a new carbon fiber manufacturing process called Automated Rapid Tape (ART) carbon, adapting an aerospace industry technique for use in supercars. This process automates the deposition of dry composite tape, allowing precise fiber placement and optimizing the strength-to-weight ratio. The ART carbon process increases material efficiency and reduces waste. The first vehicle to feature ART carbon fiber is the McLaren W1, and McLaren plans to expand the use of this technology in future supercars.
