I just read today in roundel that the CF driveshaft is so stiff it no longer requires a center bearing - is that accurate?

I'm really intrigued to drive this. Anytime you dramatically reduce the weight of an integral rotating part, the feeling of direct-response increases. The flywheel is probably the most classic example.

But the driveshaft has always been the longest rotating part of the assembly and the most prone to torsional forces as a result - so now I'm really curious how a super stiff super lightweight driveshaft feels in a high torque application.
