Its monocoque chassis is made out of aluminum, kevlar and carbon fiber, which is not only light, but rigid as well. With its Lingenfelter-built [twin turbo V8](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supersport), the Falcon F7 is capable of "pumping out 1,100hp to give it a 0-60 time of just 2.7 seconds," writes Uncrate, with "a top speed over 200 mph.È The fierce exterior and luxury interior makes the Falcon F7 stand out even more from its competitors. Manufactured in Detroit, it's finished with carbon ceramic brakes, an in-dash iPad mini for music control as well as a removable targa roof panel. Although available in different colors, the silver makes the Falcon F7 look like a bullet. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Lightweight Supercars:** The use of aluminum, kevlar, and carbon fiber in supercar chassis allows for lighter and more rigid structures, improving performance and speed. - **American-made Supercars:** American-made supercars like the Falcon F7 are challenging European models with their impressive horsepower and top speeds. - **Luxury Interior Features:** Supercars like the Falcon F7 are incorporating luxury features such as carbon ceramic brakes and in-dash iPad controls to enhance the overall driving experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive Manufacturing:** The automotive manufacturing industry has the opportunity to adopt lightweight materials and advanced technologies to create faster and more efficient supercars. - **Luxury Car Market:** The luxury car market can capitalize on the demand for high-performance and luxury features by incorporating advanced materials and technologies into their offerings. - **Carbon Fiber Industry:** The carbon fiber industry has the potential to expand as the demand for lightweight materials increases in the automotive sector. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lightweight High-Performance Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-highperformance-supercar.md) - [Stealthy Fantasy-Themed Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/f117-4wd-covenant.md) - [Reimagined Road-Legal Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roadlegal-supercar.md) - [Agile Off-Road Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laffite-atrax.md) - [Track-Focused Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project24.md) - [Exclusive Luxury Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-car.md) - [Ultra-Fast Hybrid Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fenomeno.md) - [Ultra-Exclusive Supercar Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aston-martin-valiant.md) - [American Safety-Focused Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glickenhaus-004-supercar.md)
