Graphene
Anyone know of this newer material?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphene
It will be the future of materials used for building high end cars.

Its going to replace the silicon chip in your ecu, its going to replace the lithium in your batteries, and were going to build elevators into space to mine asteroids...
and these guys are making it now and are pioneering its production...

cost might be a slight issue?

It was originally observed in electron microscopes in 1962, but not studied further. The material was later rediscovered, isolated and characterized in 2004 by Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov at the University of Manchester. Research was informed by existing theoretical descriptions of its composition, structure and properties. High-quality graphene proved to be surprisingly easy to isolate, making more research possible. This work resulted in the two winning the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010 "for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene." The global market for graphene is reported to have reached $9 million by 2014 with most sales in the semiconductor, electronics, battery energy and composites industries

SPEED UP YOUR RACQUET
Thanks to the improved stronger* material structure of GRAPHENE XT, we can make our racquets up to 20 % lighter** compared to a conventional racquet with the equivalent swing weight. In other words, you have a faster racquet but with the same weight behind the ball when you hit it. You do the math! * up to 30 % higher mechanical strength compared to HEAD GRAPHENE.
