DiMora claim their Natalia SLS 2 Supersedan currently in development will be the most luxurious, technologically advanced and most expensive production car on the market. Whilst we can guarantee the final promise is most definitely true with an expected price tag of $2 million dollars, it would be too early for such a small company to make such bold statements in the other two areas.
Despite this, plans are well a foot for the model and latest developments state that in partnership with Barotex Technology Corporation, DiMora will create the strongest and most durable materials ever produced for an automoble using "Barotex inorganic fibre" which is made from volcanic rock.
"In contrast, carbon fiber products are petroleum-based, and we know about the challenges that involves," said Lilo Beuzieron, CEO of Barotex Technology Corporation and inventor of Barotex. "Not only is lava rock more abundant, but our manufacturing process requires far less energy. It is friendly to the environment, and the automobiles built with Barotex are lighter, so they use less energy every mile travelled."
DiMora added, "When we began designing our 16-cylinder engine that would erupt with 1200 horsepower, we decided to call it the Volcano V16. It's only natural that we now surround the DiMora Volcano with volcanic rock from Barotex."
Barotex Adds Strength, Cuts Weight in DiMora's $2 Million Automobile
World's Most Expensive Production Car is First to Use Volcanic Rock
Barotex Technology Corporation (BARX), inventor and producer of the remarkable Barotex® inorganic fiber, announced today that it has become the newest Technology Partner to work with DiMora Motorcar to develop and produce the Natalia SLS 2 sport luxury sedan.
Barotex materials have characteristics that make them superior to carbon fiber, fiberglass, Kevlar, and other advanced materials in a variety of applications. "Barotex enables our design team to create some of the strongest and most durable automotive components ever produced," stated Alfred DiMora, Founder and CEO of DiMora Motorcar.
DiMora further noted, "For the Natalia SLS 2, Barotex will be formed into various body panels and our revolutionary D-Tek™ chassis, where its high strength will add significantly to the automobile's torsional rigidity. Yet our chassis will be more than a thousand pounds lighter than the conventional steel chassis found on other luxury automobiles of similar size."
Barotex starts as volcanic rock, widely available throughout the world. "In contrast, carbon fiber products are petroleum-based, and we know about the challenges that involves," said Lilo Beuzieron, CEO of Barotex Technology Corporation and inventor of Barotex. "Not only is lava rock more abundant, but our manufacturing process requires far less energy. It is friendly to the environment, and the automobiles built with Barotex are lighter, so they use less energy every mile traveled."
"We recently received our patent for the proprietary process used to produce Barotex," noted Beuzieron. "We are delighted that the first production automobile to integrate this technology will be DiMora's Natalia SLS 2, which abounds with technological breakthroughs from bumper to bumper."
The versatility of Barotex fiber materials brings exceptional uses to a wide variety of products for markets including automotive, aerospace, ballistics, industrial, and sporting goods. In fabric form, Barotex offers an excellent combination of properties, from high strength and impact resistance to fire resistance and design adaptability. The design potential and flexibility possible are almost unlimited, thanks to the wide range of yarn sizes and weaving patterns that are available. Barotex does not stretch or shrink after exposure to very high or low temperatures, making it extremely stable in the production of automobile bodies and related parts.
The high strength-to-weight ratio of Barotex fiber makes it a superior material in many automotive applications. Barotex fiber is an inorganic material that will not burn or support combustion, which also improves passenger safety.
DiMora added, "When we began designing our 16-cylinder engine that would erupt with 1200 horsepower, we decided to call it the Volcano V16. It's only natural that we now surround the DiMora Volcano with volcanic rock from Barotex."

About DiMora Motorcar
Based in Palm Springs, California, DiMora Motorcar crafts automobiles designed to exceed expectations for safety, performance, technology, ecology, beauty, comfort, and luxury. We are the first to reveal the design, production, and testing of our automobiles via the Internet so that people around the world can learn about--and participate in--the process.
The founder, CEO, and driving force behind DiMora Motorcar, Alfred J. DiMora, produced two of America's finest luxury automobiles, the Clenet (as owner) and the Sceptre (as co-founder). When President Reagan declared 1986 the Centennial Year of the Gasoline-Powered Automobile, Mr. DiMora's Clenet was selected as the Official Centennial Car. As a result, he and the Clenet were honored at the Automotive Hall of Fame in Michigan. He also founded Starbridge Systems, Inc., where he developed the FPGA supercomputer. Using his technological and automotive backgrounds, Alfred DiMora blends the two worlds together to create this new experience in automotive history, the Natalia SLS 2.

for two million USDs i would rather get me a North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco, that way i could fly over and enjoy the sight of every volcano in this planet .
the people who would buy this will definitely have many many millions in the bank to SPARE. therefore, they don't care about how ugly the car is, just that its super exclusive, and unique. Yes its quite ugly on the outside, but IMAGINE the interior of a 2 million dollar car?? which is where the most time is spent in a car too :P. Also, volcanic ROCK. sounds heavy compared to "carbon fibre"... it says its lighter but...yea w/e though... lighter and stronger and abundant. good combo :D:D this will be the next maybach... ULTRA maybach lol
If I had millions of dollars to spend, I think I would spend it on a Porsche, Ferrari, Maybach, or Lamborghini. This thing is hideous. But I am interested to see what they mean by "technologically advanced" on their car.
Since the grill is shaped like a vagina, I wonder if it has its moments. :P
Reasons not to buy one... 1. It costs $2 million dollars! 2. It isn't really pretty to look at. 3. Its called Natalia! 4. There's this ultra luxury car called Rolls Royce Phantom and it only costs $340K...
Most expensive production car... V16 engine... I think this DiMora dude is in the wrong era.
I remember reading about this car a year ago or so. It has heated windscreen wipers for when you park your $2M car out in freezing rain and icy conditions.
This is an interesting undertaking. Gimmicks (like heated windscreen wipers) aside, the Natalia SLS 2 is an evolution of the common automobile in terms of materials used, as emphasized by this article. While luxuries are bound to be plentiful, DiMora seems to understand the future of the automotive industry is a vestige in the hither unexplored area of materials engineering. While the Volcano V16 might not necessarily exist in Barotex Technology's image of tomorrow's automobiles, I am glad to see the Natalia existing as a focal point of the company's image of today. It is all very exciting.
WTF..its an ugly sedan concept i have ever seen in my life ..so vocanic rock is hard enough to keep this car in shape when you crash it at 200mhp with no problem eh ?
this thing is ugly as hell! no one in their right mind would buy it even if it is exlusive... i would get a maybach nd buy something nice with the change...
The design... awful ...but we can blame that on the really awful rendering... c'mon for a N million USD project ..hire someone with some sort of render knowledge . However the idea is great...the one with the eco-friendly V16 :) cover in rock...yes yes my ignorance is blinding. But ... letting the jokes the Barotex fibers are the only thing exciting about this car ...which is lame and should not be used as an excuse for the price tag of the final product. So in my opinion(please correct me ) this car will only tickle the high level of ignorance and opulent crowds formed around the world like volcanoes and surely not the future.
it looks like a drawing of a maybach gone bad. Its a bit of a copy and no one pays 2 million dollars for a copy. I suggest they would draw their own cars instead of going to the maybach designers garbage can for a design.
