DiMora, an American private car builder is currently developing what they claim will be the most luxurious, technologically advanced, and most expensive production car in the market. With an expected price tag of over US$2million, the super luxury car will be offered in only the best gadgets and technology the world has to offer.
Plans are well underway to reach that goal and one of the latest developments state that in partnership with Barotex Technology Corporation, DiMora will create the strongest and most durable materials ever produced for an automobile using “Barotex Inorganic Fiber” which is made from volcanic rock.
“In contrast, carbon fiber products are petroleum-based, and we know about the challenges that involves,” said Lilo Beuzieron, CEO of Barotex Technology Corporation and inventor of Barotex. “Not only is lava rock more abundant, but our manufacturing process requires far less energy. It is friendly to the environment, and the automobiles built with Barotex are lighter, so they use less energy every mile travelled.”
DiMora added, “When we began designing our 16-cylinder engine that would erupt with 1200 horsepower, we decided to call it the Volcano V16. It’s only natural that we now surround the DiMora Volcano with volcanic rock from Barotex.”
Personally, I feel they called it the Volcano V16 because it’s made out of volcanic rock from Barotex rather than the other way around but whatever the case, a replacement to carbon fiber has been found though it’ll definately take time to reach the mass market. And that’s only after the guys in Formula 1 and almost every other form of racing have got their hands on it, and after it’s race proven, volcanic rock would be too expensive for us average joe’s. Carbon-fiber is here to stay, for a while more at least.
