Alcantara and suede are somewhat similar, but the former is a composite fiber that is easy to clean, while the latter is the reverse side of cowhide (hence also called "reverse leather"). Alcantara was invented in 1970 by Dr. Miyoshi Okamoto of Toray Industries, Inc. in Japan, and its composition is 68% polyester and 32% polyurethane. It is not genuine leather, but it is relatively expensive. Here is some relevant information about Alcantara: 1. Alcantara has excellent hand feel, high friction coefficient, great softness, rich color, strong durability/wear resistance, and is extremely easy to maintain. 2. Alcantara uses a series of unique and advanced processing techniques, making it a high-end and innovative new material. This process has yet to be successfully replicated by anyone, so this material is exclusive to Alcantara. Since 2009, Alcantara® has been certified as a carbon-neutral material and has been identified as having active ingredients that can reduce and offset CO2 emissions. 3. Alcantara has excellent plasticity and can be made into steering wheels. The sides of the Huracan's steering wheel are wrapped in Alcantara material to improve hand feel and increase friction.

How Long Can a Flooded Car Last?

After undergoing repairs, a flooded car can generally last for 3-5 years without issues. Below is relevant information about water entering a car's engine: 1. Precautions for engine water ingress: Do not attempt to start the engine immediately if water has entered the engine compartment. If the car is on a flooded road, push it to a dry area and allow all water in the engine compartment to drain out. Open the engine hood and let the sun dry it or use a blower to remove moisture. In short, ensure the engine is completely dry before starting. 2. Hazards of engine water ingress: Never attempt to restart the engine after water has entered. If you do, even with flood insurance and comprehensive coverage, the insurance company will not compensate. Engines work by igniting compressed gas, and water is difficult to compress. Forcing a start can result in severe damage, such as bent or broken connecting rods, leading to major engine repairs.
