The use of carbon fiber in cars is no big news. After all, we do hear of many autmotive parts being made from the substance. However, you would gladly agree that it is big new when you hear of a complete car made from carbon fiber. Welcom the 2002 Lotus Elise that comes straight from Hong Kong.
Designed by car enthusiast Jimmy Wong, this roadster comes with a fully custom carbon fiber body, both exterior as well as interior included. The outside has a grey black impact while the inside features carbon fiber in black and silver. Custom made by TW Auto Limited, the Lotus special was built within a time frame of six months. Being made from carbon fiber you can well imagine how light this car must be. Jimmy says that it does not weight more than 40 kgs, which by the way, is less than OEM weight. Also, you can upgrade this vehicle with optional KW Suspension, JP Racing Wheels, Lotus Racing Exhaust and Air Filter with larger intake. Car experts will know that this car is not rated in hp differential but weight.

Contact me about carbon fiber vehicles such as an Audi A5. I don’t feel like carrying around that type of weight. Thanks. I will pay for that.
