Wooden SupercarA US designer is working on the world’s first wooden supercar.

Joe Harmon, 27, started the project with other students at North Carolina State University to see whether it was possible to build a performance car out of wood.

Their creation - the Splinter - should be completed later this year and they believe it should be capable of speeds in excess of 240mph.

Mr Harmon said: “Wood is a truly amazing material to work with. It has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than aluminium or steel, and it possesses a versatility that makes many different types of construction techniques possible.

公道を走行可能な木製車なら日本にはすでにありますが、こいつはスーパーカーだけあって 240mph(386km/h) を目指しているらしいですよ。
