The fastest accelerating car in the world is the Porsche 918 Spyder, which can go 0-60 mph in 2.2 seconds. An extremely bold San Francisco startup thinks it can beat that ... with 3D printing.

Divergent Microfactories' 3D-printed supercar, the Blade, uses 3D-printed aluminum joints connected to carbon-fiber tubes to create the frame for the chassis. The company claims a 0-60 mph time of "around" 2 seconds and a weight of 1,400 pounds.
