Forged/Injection Molded Carbon Fiber - LOOK SO GOOD!!!!

[VoKuS]

When are we going to start to see bikes made out of this?
It seems like it would be stronger and much easier to make....

Someday, this technology will be widely used. Lamborghini is making extensive use of it in their monocoques. They actually have a factory just for making the carbon pieces located right next to their factory. They say that the technology will be cheap enough to be used in consumer cars not too far from now. Car manufacturers are having a tougher time squeezing more efficiency out of ICE motors as they are nearing limits, so the next huge step in reducing costs and increasing efficiency is about "adding lightness"

EDIT: no fair! you posted Lambo badges right in the middle of me posting this
