Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering | | English term or phrase: today`s Formula 1 race cars require it in the auto body | me podrian ayudar con la sgte frase today`s Formula 1 race cars require it in the auto body de acuerdo al sgte contexto:
The new Boeing 787 Dreamliner, dubbed “Boeing´s Plastic Dream Machine” by Business Week because of its extensive use of carbon fiber composites, has been one of the fastest-selling jets in commercial aviation history. Could composites- the stuff of tennis rackets, high-performance skis, and bicycles- have a similar impact on next generation car and light-truck design? Carbon fiber weighs just one fifth as much as steel it replaces, but it`s so strong that today`s Formula 1 race cars require it in the auto body.
El nuevo Boeing 787 Dreamliner, apodado "Boeing's Plastic Dream Machine" según la revista Business Week debido a su uso en gran escala de compuestos de fibra de carbono, ha sido uno de los jets con mas rápidas en ventas en la historia de la aviación comercial. ¿Podrían los compuestos (de los materiales de las raquetas de tenis, esquíes de alto rendimiento y bicicletas) tener un impacto similar en el diseño de autos y camiones livianos de las generaciones venideras? La fibra de carbono sólo pesa una quinta parte del acero al que reemplaza, pero es más pesada que today`s Formula 1 race cars require it in the auto body.
de antemano muchas gracias. |

29 mins confidence:  peer agreement (net): +1 | today`s formula 1 race cars require it in the auto body pero es TAN fuerte que los coches de Fórmula 1 actuales lo necesitan en la carrocería.
Explanation:
Ojo: "so strong" sería "tan fuerte", y yo diría coches, más que autos, aunque depende del lector final.

5 hrs confidence:  peer agreement (net): +1 | today`s formula 1 race cars require it in the auto body los autos/coches de carrera de Formula 1 actuales lo necesítan en el monocasco/la carrocería
Explanation:
So that it's clear how broadly used composites are in current F1 cars I feel I need to point out how they are to be found not only in the bodywork (carrocería) but also the chassis/monocoque (monocasco) and the suspension's arms (brazos de las suspensiónes). I feel "auto body" being a very general term must encompass all of the above. Auto/coche varies depending on what country the translation is for, in Spain it's coche, in Argentina it would be auto. ¡Suerte!
