This type of car although expensive is needed to get the carbon fiber systems market up and running. Realistically we don't have anybody doing true carbon fiber in low cost mass production mode. There are many startups with the claim carbon fiber will reduce the cost over steel in the future. But none with the capital to find out for real.

Not to hi-jack this thread, but I assume you all have seen this info from last year
Ford working on mass-market carbon fiber components to save weight, improve efficiency
IIRC all major manufacturers are working on something similar and while many have just survived bankruptcy they still have some pretty deep pockets.
