I understand that the hood of the S2k is constructed of aluminum. I am wondering what other parts of the car are also or if its just the hood.

 

As far as the body of the car goes, it's only the hood.

 

Always thought the bonnet/hood was made of Aluminium ?

 

always thought it was just the hood..

 

Although everyone say's it's just the hood, I took a sharp rock on the top of the fender and it removed the paint and removed metal from the fender. If it's not aluminum it's real soft steel. I guess we can try the magnet test!

The hood is the only large component made of aluminum. The chassis, suspension and remaining body panels are fabricated from steel.

BTW, don't let the dealers tell you that the titanium shift knob weighs less than the stock aluminum shift knob - titanium (0.16 lb/in^3) weighs 60% more than aluminum (0.10 lb/in^3). When I was buying my car, the sales person was trying to sell me a $350 (list is around $150) titanium shift knob, stating that it weighed less than the stock aluminum knob - the audacity of some people!

 

No, it's definitely the bonnet - the hood is made of canvas LOL

 

Engine. Maybe other parts like the rear differential also. Shift knob. Radiator? Wheels. And Hood.

 

No. The hood is made out of aluminum, the bonnet is made out of aluminium.

 

While we're on the subject of "bonnets" are there any Lucas parts on the car? (ROFLOL)
