"Porsche believes that carbon composites will be a growing force in the automotive industry, and values the experience gained with the low-volume Carrera GT. HÃƒÂ¶lscher holds out the possibility that another vehicle, produced at higher volumes, could be introduced sometime in the future. Possible ways to reduce cost might include more use of RTM and less autoclave processing."

Nice! I didn't expect to see such heavy US-company involvement in the making of that very Germanic beast. I don't consider myself very Patriotic, but that kinda rocks to see the Germans come to us for the best of the best in hi-tech. The FEA software, pre-preg carbon fiber, and Nomex were all American creations.
