The Why's and How's of super cars

Location: Why and how are there so many super cars in london?

As there are such a large ammount of people roaming the long streets of london and there are so many posh hotels, shops and designer franchises it is a perfect playground area for the rich and their super cars to show off making as much noise in the narrow areas of steets which seal all the loud V6 V8 and V12 grumbles. The people who own these super cars also know there will be many people on the streets that they can get attention from so that they can video them for youtube and what not. These people can afford cars like this because of their huge salarys!!

Materials: Why is carbon fibre used to make cars?

Carbon fibre (reinforced polymer) is very very light and extremely strong! it is fibre reinforced polymer that contians lots of carbon fibers. The reason that carbon fiber is used on so many super cars in the last 10+ years is because it is just so light but strong that the manufactures make a cars interior or body out of it to shed weight so that the car can go faster as it is a supercar! The carbon fiber is so strong that some super cars bodies and interior are made of just that material. The bugatti veyron is light beacuse lots of carbon fiber is used on the car so it can have ultimatly more power!
