    Splinter: The Wooden Concept Car

    The main idea is to build a high-performance, mid-engined supercar from wood composites, using wood whereever possible, including the chassis, body, and large percentages of the suspension components and wheels.
    The car has a target weight of 2500lbs and a power goal of over 600 horsepower delivered by a turbocharged 4.6 liters V8 unit.

    Haha , so now I can easily carve in stuff

    Very creative approach to building a car. I wonder whether these composites are anywhere near as durable and safe and the ones used in a regular passenger car, let's take the Audi A4 or the Golf for example
