Materials for cars of the future
Clipped to the Drawing Board by George Tan  
Summertime is high season for convertibles . With spring's first peek preview of the warm weather to come, the demand for motoring’s open-air class again begins to soar. And then it’s off and away, the face in the warm glow of the sun and hair tousled by a soft breeze, yellow rapeseed fields racing by – all brought to a sudden end by an April shower! Blessed are those who need only press a button, as in the case of the current BMW 3 Series convertible, whose steel fold-down top rolls back up and closes in just 22 seconds. To be sure, steel may not sound like a lightweight material, and a hardtop does, of course, weigh more than a soft top. It goes to show, nevertheless, that steel is holding its own as a modern car-making material.
