Introducing Kestrel, The First Road-Ready Car Built Out Of Hemp | Popular Science
Henry Ford introduced a car in 1941 that was partially made of hemp. The Kestrel will continue the tradition. The hemp composite is as strong as fiberglass. It will weigh about 1000 pounds less than a comparable size car. It should be available for about $25,000 and hit the road next year. It is also ideal for an electric car, given its light size.
