Lotus Elise all decked out in carbon fiber
TW Auto has wrapped an entire Lotus Elise in a thin layer of carbon fiber. Carbon fiber, which is stronger and lighter as compared to steel, is making its way into more cars than ever before. Originally owned by Jimmy Wong, the 02 Type 72 JP model features a fully custom carbon fiber body. The car modification includes both the outer as well as the inner body of the car. Complete customization work of the car took about six months to give it the final touch. After being dressed in regular black carbon fiber, the car has become approximately 30-40 kg lighter than its original weight.
