"Murray [...] makes his autos out of a lightweight composite material similar to carbon fiber used in race cars.

"That allows him to jettison the robots and machinery that stamp and weld about 300 pieces of metal together in a typical car body."

That seems to imply hand-layup, which along with the "composite material similar to carbon fiber" makes me have some doubts about the "8,678 euros ($11,000)" retail price for the gas model.

Anyone know any more details about the materials and process?
