I like the car idea, I think if this goes to a mass production, it will turn the industry upside down.
Does someone know, is the production of 3D printed car costs less than a real car?
It would be so cool

I think they will be kind of cheaper at some point. The engine and other inner stuff will probably be just as expensive as the from a normal car, but the outer layers will be done from plastic or so, and it's cheaper.
