Thanks for the answers.
I'm thinking about just new panel materials, to make it short :
you have Aluminium (let's say 100 weight)
you have Carbon Fiber (let's say 50 weight)
and they're already in-game.
I'm just saying we could add an Aluminium-Carbon with 80 weight, so that's not as heavy as full Alu but cheaper than full Carbon.
It's basic balance implying the Carbon is in let's say fixtures, doors, hood and trunk.
It's quite common in sports cars like Wizzy said.
Der Bayer, are you implying the pillars and the monocoque chassis are part of the same sheet of metal ? Didn't know that.
EDIT : After searching for monocoques, I think we should name it "unibody" instead. And yes, it works for this type of chassis.
