Is the Discovery Sport an aluminum body?
1 Answers
Discovery Sport is an aluminum body, and the biggest advantage of an all-aluminum body is lightweight. Advantages of lightweight: Lightweight can greatly improve handling. The density of alloy steel is 7.9g/m³, while the density of aluminum alloy is only 2.7g/m³. Under the same volume, aluminum alloy is lighter in weight, and lightweight is directly linked to fuel consumption and emissions. Other advantages of lightweight: Lightweight can greatly improve handling. In the racing world, there is a saying that "an extra 1 horsepower is not as good as losing 10 pounds." Apart from squeezing out every bit of power and torque, lightweight reduction is absolutely a must-do before competition. In the high-stakes racing arena where victories are measured in thousandths of a second, even an ounce of unnecessary weight on the body is an intolerable sin.
