Composites Technology Magazine: Elise Crash Structure Write-Up!

This month's issue of Composites Technology magazine has a write-up about the design and engineering of the Lotus Elise crash structure, as well as the materials that are used to make it. I will try to scan and upload if anyone is interested. It has some interesting tidbits about Lotus history and philosophy, also.

Please do. I find that to be one of the most interesting aspects of the elise design.
