A supercar made of wood
|
It sounds impossible, I know, but some North Carolina State University graduate students are working, making the impossible… a reality! This attempt is named Splinter - a 600 hp supercar completely built from wood.
It has a twin-supercharged V8 engine delivering 600 bhp. "The beast began life as a Cadillac Northstar aluminum block. We reversed the flow of the 32V, DOHC cylinder heads, which resulted in exhaust headers running out of the top center where the intake manifold would have typically been. This setup required us to fabricate 2 small intake manifolds which would fit in the normal location of the exhaust headers. Each intake manifold has its own Root-style supercharger feeding it through 2 air-to-water intercoolers".
The expectation is a maximum speed of 190 mph.
