@denki @KarlHeinzHasliP Personally, I think #Volkswagen should've taken the #1L or #L1, make it out of #Aluminium and #glassfiber or even fiber-reinforced #plastic instead of #CarbonFiber and actually #MassProduce it!
Instead of making a €111.000 shitpost that was limited to 250 units made and 200 sold…

@tk and with a smol engine and light weight as well as aerodynamics, it can easily beat the #XL1's efficiency as well price!
Just by being way simpler!
A good video from "I built a thing" that may surprise you about carbon fibre filaments. Their only advantages are probably appearance and reduced shrinkage.
In addition to poorer mechanical properties, they may also be carcinogenic!

Update on the SP80 high speed foiling boat project.
They are altering the shape of the boat's floats to improve things in the low speed regime where the boat transitions from displacement, to planing, to foiling.
Design often involves multiple compromises.
