The i3, scheduled to roll out later this year may appear drastically different from the i8, but the two vehicles are of the same essence electric drive train, lightweight technology, carbon fiber body.

Its carbon-fiber body will hit 60 miles per hour in fewer than three seconds.
It has butterfly doors, a carbon-fiber body and a roof-mounted air intake that spins as the car moves.

It also increases the use of costly carbon-fiber body panels (the hood and roof) and other composite materials, to save weight.

To convince wary airline executives that carbon-fiber body material was strong, Boeing sales teams carried samples and hammers, letting airline executives whack the composite with all their might.
The open-top counterpart to the Superleggera, Spyder Performante is 143 pounds lighter than its predecessor, the Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder, thanks to the enormous amount of carbon fiber used in its body and components.
But beyond the ventilatory threshold, the release of carbon dioxide begins to exceed the body's intake of oxygen.
When a person's breathing slows down, not enough carbon dioxide gets removed from the body, and not enough oxygen enters.
Despite antique appearances, the car is actually built from a carbon-fibre monocoque produced in an aerospace-grade autoclave (in this case, one that Boeing uses), with a body sculpted from a carbon- Nomex sandwich.
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a scientific intergovernmental body, concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are now at their highest levels for at least 650, 000 years.
It has a sturdy body, partly made of carbon fiber.

They also point to a vast body of research pointing to rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels to be the cause.
The battery is located within a carbon-fibre monocoque which forms an integral part of the body shell and acts as the gullwing model's "spine".

This excess release of carbon dioxide is a sign that the muscles have become more acidic, which the body finds stressful.
The body claimed that while housing accounted for 27% of the UK's carbon emissions, new homes made up only 0.63% of Scotland's total annual housing stock - and had already cut emissions by 70% since 1990.
