There are some graduate students at North Carolina State University serious idea of constructing a super car out of wood is cause for doubt, especially, with consideration to heat, weight and safety and their disastrous effects. However, put all notions of political correctness and conventional logic aside and consider the possibility.
Stated on their web site, “...we aren't trying to sell anything, we aren't trying to save the world, and we aren't advocating that everyone should drive a wooden car. This project is a scholastic endeavor in which we are simply trying to explore materials, learn, share ideas, and stimulate creativity."
This project is called Splinter a fancy car design drafted with a wood grain exterior. This wooden projectile got a twin roots-type superchargers Northstar V8 producing 600hp and capable of 190 mp and the targeted weight of this car is about 2500 lbs.
