I found this browsing the web...carbon fiber pistons. I have never heard such a thing, and apparently they are made for the S2000. Has anyone seen these?


When choosing a piston for an engine, there is a common saying that lighter is better. If the piston rings can somehow be eliminated, we can minimize friction. With these common facts in mind, ATS & ACROSS has created a piston that is 60% of an aluminum piston's weight and retains 1/20th of aluminum's expansion rate. The carbon piston is capable of higher levels of revolutions with plenty of efficiency and can change the way we build engines forever.

Yeah I guess carbon fiber wouldn't make much sense. Either way, did they ever actually produce these?

all the thermal properties could be pretty good too. are there any race series who's rules would allow these (ALMS, F1, SuperGT)?
