All cars have metal in them, but, as far as the body, no. Case in point, Corvette, fiberglass, then later composite, Cobra's are aluminum, and, back in the 60's, on the drag strips Ford, and Chevy were using aluminum, or fiberglass body pannels in some of their "competition only" vehicles. There is even an old, British, I think, sports car that has a wooden frame. A morgan, I believe it is. When manufacturers moved away, back then, from metal body parts it was usually for weight saving, competition purposes. Not safety, which was why most bodies were built of metal back then. Now days, technology has progressed to the level that they now have other materials that are even more safe than metal, and are used, again to save weight, but, for fuel saving abilities, rather than performance.
