New materials are being tested under racing conditions that could replace materials such as aluminium and carbon fibre in future race cars. This project receives support from Julia Klöckner’s Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture. The driver’s door of the 357 kW (485 hp) racing taxi from Weissach is made out of a natural-fibre composite material. Porsche is the development partner of the Fraunhofer Application Centre HOFZET for the production and testing of components.
