Enthusiast
Heads up for the fellow VCA members to share some fellow membership pride, as a car design engineer (involved years of CAD work on this project including ICEM, been using CATIA, UG / NX for about 20 or so years), quite a bit of design (all related to carbon fibre), even worked at Aston Martin facility in England in their design studio, working for a company called Multimatic in Canada, and with many great coworkers who contributed to the design and manufacturing. The VP at Multimatic, great guy and friend, he pushed us to the limits to excel in all aspects overlooking the project and providing guidance. As a related note, Multimatic also did the carbon fibre parts & molds for the Oreca Viper GTS-R way back then, also helped design and build the first Viper Comp Coupe prototype and many other projects. My immediate boss was the engineering VP at Shelby at one time, it's really a small world in the auto industry....
Here's an article with a video..

Past Autoblog article with some of the carbon fibre chassis pics (side door structure is also carbon fibre):

PS.. years prior I had worked in the Viper engineering group at FREC in Michigan (teaching CAD, etc., commuting across the border) around 2000 (why I have a 2000 RT/10), sort of a sentimental thing since being a RT/10 that I got to take home from work, except it was yellow (comments from MoparBoy expected... a quiet lol..).
At the time I was in England years ago when the project started, went to Silverstone, got to check out some older Aston Martins, here's some of my old pics:

Then some more old pics, hooked up with the Viper club in the UK, Neil who picked me up from my hotel, had a great time at their supercar show that was within the Aston, Jag, Land Rover complex:

Here's some more old pics inside the Heritage museum on the same grounds:
