Yeah it's our new DAF built from aluminum  8)

The whole company is a scam. They don't really sell cars. They find investors to receive money and they don't pay their suppliers. It's more like a pyramid scheme than a car manufacturer.

I'm more proud of Donkervoort or even Nedcar (producing the most reliable cars)

Did a bit of a google... saw an article that says aluminum cars can be safer.  Not because of the material strength but because it can be designed larger at the same weight and thus have more crumple area, it crumples more predictably, and a lighter car handles better and thus will be in less accidents.

Not sure how they can say a lighter car handles better when all of the other design advantages are based on making it bigger and weighing the same.

there have been a few aluminium bodied cars over the years. pretty safe, and less prone to corrosion. i think land rover still make their 4wds from aluminium. chassis is/was galvanised steel. other examples from the past that i can think of straight up were jensen and bentley. and lotus super 7s. hmm, they're all british...

edit: and jaguar...

I'd guess that just about every supercar is made from aluminum these days. Modern supercars from Europe since 2000 something at least.

Actually parts of it are starting to be made from carbon fiber. That's the next step up from aluminum. In fact just about the whole McLaren Mercedes SLR body is built from carbon fibre.

good call. i forgot about one of my all time favourites - the mercedes 300sl gullwing  :)

Yeah. The only thing selling well seem to be the Spyker shirts. Seems like a man around the 40's doesn't count anymore without a Spyker shirt overher...
