With the whole industry going "greener." Some of the exotic lightweight materials is bound to become less expensive sooner or later. Just look at McLaren. The F1 was over 1 million dollars compared to the MP4-12C which cost a quarter of that. It took McLaren 3500 hours to piece together the F1's carbon fiber tub. The MP4-12C takes about 4 hours. If/when Ford and GM wake up and invest in this tech, I can only imagine how truly awesome these high powered engines will perform.
