Of course it's plastic (more than likely plexiglass, or similar)...unless you know of a company who has created clear metal (ala Star Trek IV, The Voyage Home). I would love to view it up close to see how they made the transition between metal to plastic in the middle of all of those body panels.

That car is absolutely amazing!!! Id love one but think about it, not only would you have to clean the outside, you would have to now clean the inside of every panel cuz you will see everything.

And for the rims I like the way ours look better. I would only get those if there were significant weight savings.

There's another pic of a cool exhibition version S2000 somewhere around the board where the whole car body raises hydraulically and pivots.

There's a pic here but it's not very good.

I'm sure there's a better one somewhere but can't lay my hands on it.

Wondering if the car is actually drivable...plastic car like this probably won't get too far from the parking lot without the car disintegrating from the heat right before your eyes.

Awesome picture. tho. I'd go insane attempting to detail this puppy.
