a "printed" car

[DrLeftover]

And it seems appropriate that it looks like a fancy coffin.

The world’s first 'printed' car has finally rolled off the printing press.



The 'Urbee' was made using a special printer which built up layer upon layer of bodywork - almost as if the car was 'painted' into existence, except using layers of ultra-thin composite that are slowly 'fused' into a solid.



But unlike most 'innovations' in cars, this one won't break down after 5 years - Urbee is built to last 30.

Coffin? More like a sub...



If it works as advertised and comes at a decent price, it might just be practical.

Even then it will cost up to $50,00 (£32,000) to buy new, although the price should drop if it is mass produced.

Pretty hefty price tag to go along with one of the ugliest cars I've ever seen. Also wonder just how durable this material is when involved in a car accident. I guess you would have something to read while waiting for the ambulance and the police to arrive on scene.
