La nuova supercar di Aston Martin e Red Bull Racing

Pubblicato il 30/03/2016

The freshly inked “Innovation Partnership” has been a long time in the making and will combine the talents of Aston Martin’s chief designer Marek Reichman with those of Red Bull’s legendary technical director Adrian Newey. Motorsports consultancy AF Racing AG will also collaborate with Q by Aston Martin Advanced and Red Bull Advanced Technologies to get the project off the ground and onto the road – and the track.
Reichman says the partnership is “in the process of developing a hypercar that combines the latest in aerodynamics from F1 and the stunning design language of an Aston martin sports car.”
Codenamed Project ‘AM-RB 001’, the new hypercar will represent the ultimate blend of cutting edge F1TM technology with Aston Martin’s signature sports car design.
Combining the strongest elements of Red Bull Racing, Red Bull Advanced Technologies and Aston Martin, this new Innovation Partnership unites the world’s best aerodynamicists, composite experts and manufacturing masters. All the parties offer different elite capabilities and the combination of all of those skills, ensuring that Project ‘AM-RB 001’ promises to be an exciting prospect for customers and enthusiasts around the world.

Il progetto europeo CIRCE (Circular Economy Model for Carbon Fibre Prepregs), nato dalla collaborazione di cinque aziende italiane e finanziato nell’ambito del programma LIFE (LIFE ENV/IT/00155), ha studiato come riutilizzare gli sfridi dei prepreg in fibra di carbonio per produrre componenti strutturali come parti auto, dischi freno, puntali per scarpe antinfortunistiche e non solo….

100% Recycled CF Spun Yarn and Applied Products

The use of CFRP can significantly reduce CO2 emissions in transportation, including airplanes and automobiles. However, a lot of CO2s is released during the production of CFRP, and most used and waste materials end up in landfills. With the growing market of CFRP, there is a strong demand for the development of recycling technologies. Toyota Industries have developed technology that aligns recycled carbon fibers from used CFRP into a uniform, consistent yarn, adapting its well-established cotton spinning methods to carbon fiber….
