I do warn you clicking the above link will make the "self confessed petrolhead" very angry lets of green technology that is making cars lighter

But for those that obsessed with having the biggest or most expensive might quite like some things here

Things like Ford looking at carbon composite bonnets

Don't be daft. One thing that is a constant theme on PH is the fact that modern cars are too heavy and running costs are too high. It would take bloody-mindedness of a degree beyond that of even the powerfully built, red bull wielding, 335d driving, goateed Company Directors that inhabit PH to despise it because the improvements are being marketed on their 'green' benefits, not their driving ones.

Edited because of fat fingers.
