The Billet Bound Book Shares The Secret Of Car Making For $4,500

billet bound book

And we thought only the cost of making a super car would be expensive. Well, even a book that shows you how to do that comes at a mindboggling price of $4500. This one is the baby of the guys over at Kirkham Motorsports and we are told it explains the various processes involved in the making of a car out of an aluminum billet.

It was the CEO of Oracle, Larry Ellison that brought Kirkham Motorsports into the picture by commissioning them to build an amazing aluminum billet roadster. And perhaps, that was an excuse enough to drive these designers and motorists to make a book of secrets and sell it to the world. We are told that it took close to two and a half years for the book to be completed.

And to match the theme of its contents, the billet bound book has its cover milled out of a 35 pound aluminum billet. Part of a limited run (we do not have any specific idea as to how many units ended up fo sale) the book will set you back by a $4,500 for a copy.
