Manufacturers are beginning to experiment with carbon fiber bodies on high-end production sports cars. The Corvette ZR-1 is all carbon fiber.
Some more info on the ZR1's use of carbon-fiber from an article in the Dallas Morning News today:
"The ZR1's carbon-fiber parts include the roof, hood, front spoiler, front fenders, side rocker panels and a rear spoiler. The carbon-fiber parts reduced the ZR1's weight about 35 pounds from that of a standard Corvette."
