Too much manpower works or another words it is an art, how can an art be Mass-pro? I agreed the material has many advantages but the production volume is the main problem. Only suitable for low volume products. I wish the process will be improved too.

The CF bits help, especially the spoiler. Lighter by 2+ kilos. 135kilos lighter is no joke. Lightening is one way of going faster, just like Lotus does with its cars. Even the rims are 2kilos lighter, per wheel. Less unsprung weight means, a lighter more responsive car overall. It will help in braking and powering out of corners. The weight advantage will be less apparent on straight road once on full throttle. though. This cannot beat a lighter car with a big, powerful engine :) The SR3 is overall a very, very trim derivative of the SGTi. The CF bits help, especially the spoiler.
