New component applications for Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A., and Callaway Golf Company meet demanding criteria for higher strength, lighter weight, and greater design flexibility at lower production costs than possible before. This announcement is made by Quantum Composites of Bay City, Michigan, regarding a new passenger cell, monocoque structure application for the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, a technology demonstrator, and new driver head components for Callaway’s RAZR Hawk™ and Diablo Octane™ clubs. Quantum is part of The Composites Group, headquartered in North Kingsville, Ohio. An AMC developed and manufactured by Quantum Composites was extensively researched and evaluated through a strategic alliance with Lamborghini and Callaway in conjunction with the University of Washington. “The result was an advanced, discontinuous carbon-fiber composite that easily flows and fills complex 3-D mold cavities – meeting extremely high material performance criteria while dramatically lowering processing costs,” said Matt Douglas, marketing manager of Quantum Composites. This AMC, also referred to as a “Forged Composite™” by Callaway and Lamborghini, includes turbostratic carbon fibers that enhance the material’s superior strength and allow for a better power to weight ratio compared to metal alloys typically used by the automotive and recreation industries.
