The model has plenty of exposed
carbon fibre, a
carbon fibre 'Mohawk' hood insert,
carbon fibre rear spoiler, and there are
carbon fibre accents throughout the car's interior.
Fibrecycle says that as worldwide
carbon fibre composite usage grows, there is concern about the waste from manufacturing processes and end-of-life products, which it says could quickly reach a significant level to become an important environmental issue.
