Hollow fibre carpet

I just read another instance of someone citing the above to show how much thought Toyota really put into the design of the Supra in order to save weight - but is it true?

 

Does anyone have any hard evidence that the "hollow fibre" example is based on fact?

It is honestly Colin, be buggered if I could find the scanned images that I read it from now, this was when I first joined the forum in 03, but Jake the google engine might know of something about.....

 

Im sure I read it one of the original brochures for the car, something that might have been hosted on mkiv.com or somewhere like that.....;)

 

Their goal was to make the MKIV lighter and more powerfull then the MKIII.......

 

EDIT: And Im sure its the original brochure that shows a MKIV with half of the front end cut away so you can the engine/running gear and suspension etc.........not a real pic but a cartoon, well not cartoon but drawn image......if you get what I mean....

But this from what I can read through a squinted eye a few mm away from the screen shows some of the thought that went into the car.....
