A startup, based in San Fransisco, has created a "supercar" that relies on 3D printing for its central structural components and can go from 0-60 in just two seconds.

Divergent Microfactories will be selling a limited number of high-performance vehicles that will be manufactured in its own microfactory.

"Society has made great strides in its awareness and adoption of cleaner and greener cars," said Divergent Microfactories CEO Kevin Czinger.

"The problem is that while these cars do now exist, the actual manufacturing of them is anything but environmentally friendly."

The Blade is made using a proprietary solution called a Node: a 3D-printed aluminum joint that connects pieces of carbon fiber tubing to make up the car's chassis, Independent.ie noted.
