Carbon Fiber Build?

[out2kayak]

OK, who's going to do the first 100% carbon fiber build that runs on puppy dog kisses? :rofl:

Wouldn't it be expensive as hell to make entire cars out of carbon fiber?

The future is going to be exciting for sure.:thumbsup:

I watched a video just a few days on the making of the one-77, can't seem to find it at the moment though.

It's very cool to see alternative materials being used in cars in other places then the usual.

This guy thinks it would be cheaper to build cars out of carbon fiber? Even with economies of scale working their magic, I doubt it. It's not like carbon fiber is exotic any more yet it's still expensive.
