Wow, the statement that Lambo is using RTM, Prepreg and braiding is REALLY impressive! Prepreg itself is not that special; you use pieces of carbon fibre (typically uni-directional or weaves), stack those, put them under pressure and heat them. This is one of the mainstream manufacturing techniques in the CFRP world.

With braiding, I am not that familiar, but what I understood from it is that it is very interesting for especially tubular sections.

RTM though is very special. The company I work for takes part in a european aerospace project to certify this as an aerospace manufacturing technique. Typically, you build very complex shapes with pure carbon fibres, put it in a complex mould, and then making CFRP out of it by letting the resin transfer through that mould. As this is a highly experimental technique (in the aerospace world), I am very impressed that lambo already applies this to their future car!
