However, instead of trying to provide people with a view of what they could see in their driveways, the consortium of companies and organizations is trying to show just what components and capabilities can be sourced by the world's automakers from Australia. Here's a look at some of the clever design and engineering used to produce this driveable operating concept car. It features an aluminum block and head. Each is one piece so they can be taken off as needed. Front seats have a magnesium backframe and magnesium cushion pan.
Steel is used for the back seats.
Typically, a frame is covered up. Not so here. It is something of an exoskeleton onto which the doors and body panels are attached. It is bolted and adhesively bonded to a metal chassis. Not only is it visible on the exterior, but on the interior, too.
