Areion: The 3D printed racer which reaches 88mph

What is it with SP contributors and 3-D printing - someone own some 3-D printer company stock? The article is extremely mis-leading by not adequately distinguishing the small amount of the car that was actually printed - or especially it's costs compared to existing plastic molding technology. Printing plastic body shell components is remarkably far from printing your title claim of a complete vehicle (which is implied from the article title down) - not to mention that the plastic body shells on passenger vehicles printed is impractical in the US because of automotive fire hazard standards - why we see almost no plastic bodied cars in the US - just a few components like bumper covers, fender and wheel wells. It isn't because current plastic molding processes are too costly. Bottom line - quit ms-representing, sensationalizing, and exaggerating what you're writing about. What happened to basic journalist accuracy? Probably died with the real journalist.

Love the video but the background song ruined it.
It's a given that EV(electric vehicles)are quite but it would have been nice to hear this EV as it zips around the track.

I'm mesmerized by inventions like the 3D printer.
I feel like the savage in front of a natural phenomena that he cannot explain with his limited intelligence ergo he prostrates himself in front of that miracle.
What an incredible technology!!!
I know this process is still in its infancy, so the mind dazzles just trying to imagine what this prodigy will be able to produce in the future!
