BRAID Forged I Magnesium - Mag The Miracle Metal!
The magnesium era in motorsport is iconic, and for good reason. Remember the famous moment in Rush when Niki Lauda schooled Ferrari on the benefits of using magnesium parts? That insight changed the game. By using magnesium components, Ferrari was able to save over 3 seconds per lap—giving them a serious edge.
Magnesium has long been a key material in motorsport, especially for Porsche. Not only did Porsche use magnesium to lighten their street 911 models with a magnesium crankcase, but they also developed a magnesium 915 gearbox to further reduce weight in their powertrain. While magnesium eventually fell out of favor in street cars due to the rise of turbocharging (hello, 930!), it’s still a go-to material in motorsports for lightweight race wheels, like those used on the Porsche 944 Turbo Cup.
Now, BRAID brings the magic of magnesium to their wheels. Introducing BRAID Forged I Magnesium wheels—designed for performance, these wheels combine the strength of the original Forged I aluminum wheels with the incredible weight savings of magnesium, cutting up to 25% off the weight. And if you’re familiar with the already lightweight Forged I, you’ll know that’s a serious reduction!
