Automotive industry is the largest growing & widely spread industry today. And the industry is continuing to strive for light weight vehicle in improving fuel efficiency and emission reduction performance. To optimize cost and weight parameters, a correct approach of cost management in the product development process is necessary. This paper outlines the various methods of topology optimization and reviewing the tool of topology optimization for the design & development of various automotive components. Using various techniques of shape, size & topology optimization may subsystems of automobile can be designed for light weighting without compromising strength of the components with increase in component compatibility. Paper also overviews various areas in which topology optimization is used successfully to achieve significant weight loss and ultimately increasing performance of automobile with considerable reduction in cost. Topology optimization of Leaf Spring Mounting Bracket is performed here as a case study and which results in 19.39 % of weight reduction without compromising strength of the bracket. Topology is scientific tool that provides guideline about removing of inefficient material from the structure
