[QUOTE="E34EuroTouring, post: 69311, member: 1026"] The newer technology is already being experimented by Audi in "foam" like honey combed aluminium chassis components. Less mass but more rigidity. Heck, carbon nanotubes are the utilmate way to go in future. Consider this 5X stronger than steel and 1/10th the weight. In 10 or 15 years car manufacturing will go this route and I am sure Lotus and Jaguar are better positioned for such technologies. I would not count out the Germans since they tend to catch on very fast and will have the *best* quality eventually. Not necessarily the best price though. I can envisage my little girl 15 years from now, wanting that SpaceFrame nanoTub Porsche!. She will get a 30-40 year old Porsche 911 .... will still be a classic Porsche in that era!!!. PSM rigged for novice mode!. [/QUOTE]
