Weight-loss Programs for Cars
(Source: autoweek.com)
Cars are heavy, like four-digit heavy, but they are all about to drop weight—lots of weight. Aluminum frames and carbon fiber parts are making their way into new cars. The Ford F150 dropped 800 pounds by introducing an all aluminum frame. The Mazda Miata MX-5 may have carbon fiber parts. Lighter parts mean lighter brakes, lighter wheels, and better mileage. This is good for everybody.
