One problem that appears when creating a wooden car that is the effect of a heat engine to the body. But the problem has solved with move to the cylinder head slightly down, in addition to the exhaust pipe to be made to the wing behind the car.

Not only exterior, interior car was made of wood. Even headrest and the seat are given a number of carvings. Not steady. There is no information whether the car is planned to be produced or if the same insurance policies of companies like aviva would apply, but the students have succeeded in stealing the public’s attention on the International Woodworking Fair in Carolina some time ago.
