The gasoline-powered sports car of the future is made with spider webs!

Desportivo do futuro a gasolina é feito com teias de aranha!

It is called Velozzi Hypercar, it was designed by Roberto Velozzi’s team, president of the Californian company Spidey Tek, based on a monocoque structure that will be molded with a mixture of fibers based on spider silk, announced as one of the strongest and lightest materials on the planet, cheaper than carbon fiber composite.

The solution only exists in digital prototypes, but the responsible people at Spidey Tek, who maintain a strategic partnership with the Synthetic Biofabrication Center at Utah State University, in research that takes advantage of a specific protein from spider silk to produce a type of synthetic silk.

And it is these silk fibers that Velozzi’s team intends to mix with carbon fiber composite (CFRP), to create an even stronger, but quite elastic material. “Spider silk, in addition to high strength, also has a lot of elasticity and unmatched resistance compared to most industrial fibers. CFRP, with its inherent rigidity, when mixed with spider silk, gains even greater strength,” explained in an interview with Autoexpress.

“Spider silk bends where carbon fiber breaks, and it costs much less.” According to this responsible person, this is the formula for success for the supercar of the future, with a naturally aspirated V12 engine and a six-speed manual gearbox. “All market research I have done has told me that people interested in buying the car want a gasoline V12.”
