Carbon Revolution Wheels
http://www.carbonrev.com/
Carbon Revolution produces the world’s only one-piece carbon fiber wheel:
the most technically advanced wheel on the planet, and one of the most advanced lightweight technologies on any car.
The innovative Aussies from Geelong, in Victoria (Yes, the same place they once built FORD Motor cars. Henry would be proud of them!) who created the first one-piece carbon fiber wheel overcame an immense challenge on how to optimize the structural integrity and create the ideal stiffness for ultimate performance.
The company technicians and scientists have also developed techniques to ensure a consistent, high-quality manufacturing process in the most critical automotive application of lightweight and strong rolling stock with exceptional balance.
A great car deserves the best wheels.
Tested in Germany to the highest TüV standards, and available for purchase, Carbon Revolution knows carbon fiber better than anybody.
Backed by patents and many awards, the one-piece Carbon Revolution CR-9 doesn’t just look like the future of wheels, it is the future. And you can drive that future today!
PERFORMANCE
GO FASTER BY GOING LIGHTER
The Carbon Revolution engineering team has many years of experience with composite technology, with decades of experience in Aerospace and Automotive Design. Our Engineers employ cutting-edge computer modeling tools to optimize the composite structures to very precise specifications, ensuring the wheels improve vehicle performance.
1.Start line: Launch hard with reduced inertia: get more power to the ground.
2.Tight high-g corner, higher cornering speeds due to increased grip. +0.14s
3.Bumps on track. Carbon wheels glide right over the bumps. Bumps upset the car with the aluminum wheel forcing the driver to breath on the throttle costing time and creating more work for the driver. +0.08s
4.Very tough section, off-camber, mid-corner bump and a wide line will hit curbing. Improved grip over curbing, improved steering precision and better chassis control allows the driver to keep the throttle wide open. +0.42s
5.Large bump and g-out in middle of the track typically upsets the chassis with aluminum wheels. Improved suspension performance due to lightweight CR-9 wheels allows the suspension to soak up the bumps without upsetting the chassis. +0.14s
6.Late braking, early on the throttle and increased grip mid corner. +0.45s
7.Finish line: total split = 1.23sec, almost 13 vehicle lengths on the straight!
- All around the track the transitions in and out of the corners are smoother.
- Far less adjustments by the driver to steering and throttle allows the car to taker a better line and not have to lift.
- If you can get back to throttle quicker on corner exit lap times will come down.
DRIVER FEEDBACK & LAP TIMES
- Improved suspension performance increases grip, enhancing control and stability in the corner
- Improved steering feel made the car easier to drive at the limit
* Average speed on the straight was 104mph resulting in a gap of 13 vehicle lengths for the 1.243sec split in lap times
JAGUAR F-TYPE R COUPE
Don Law Racing
#152 Jaguar F-Type Coupe
2015 Pike’s Peak
Finished Third in class
The F-Type Coupe developed by Don Law Racing was a lesson in the power of lightweight design. The racecar retained the stock production motor, transmission and rear axle. The team pursued weight reduction to optimize the car’s performance, so carbon fiber wheels were an easy decision to optimize the whole package. Car #152, driven by Pike’s Peak rookie Justin Law, finished third in class (15th overall), behind a heavily modified Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and Mitsubishi EVO 9 RS — both boasting more than 750hp. This achievement of Don Law Racing should not be underestimated. Despite a power deficit of almost 200hp, and with a rookie behind the wheel, #152 put on an impressive display. Do not underestimate the power of lightweight technology to win races.
FORD MUSTANG SHELBY GT350R
“If the GT350 is a six or seven on the confidence scale, the R is a solid nine out of 10. That’s largely down to the amazing – it’s really the right word for them – wheels and tires.” – Pat Devereux, Top Gear Magazine
When Ford decided to challenge the Porsche 911 GT3 at its own game with the new Mustang Shelby GT350R, nothing was left off the table. The final specification is very impressive and includes Carbon Revolution seven-spoke carbon fiber wheels as standard equipment. The GT350R is also supplied without a rear seat as part of Ford’s major weightsaving regimen, giving the car all the ingredients to dominate on the racetrack. Carbon Revolution wheels are a key component in the motorsport ability the Mustang Shelby GT350R brings to the streets and the track. In fact, the GT350R is 130 lb lighter than the base model Mustang Shelby GT350, and 60 lb of that critical weight reduction is attributed to the Carbon Revolution carbon fiber wheels. The wheels also bring dynamic driving improvements in acceleration, steering, handling and braking, which the Ford engineers were happy to exploit for the set-up of the Mustang Shelby GT350R.
for turbo repairs, is the many years of experience putting together combinations of higher performance turbo High-Flow rebuilds that withstand the rigours of road and race track, at a reasonable price!
