Nice Henry…!!
Would these last in a street engine? What’s the material? Super light weight but are they strong enough to last more than a race or 2? Thanks for sharing

Those look cool, but the material strength?

Porsche was testing 3D printed Mahle pistons in a GT2 RS engine already. Certainly a promising technology for racing or small production lots.

F1 has used steel pistons for over a decade now.
