Smoking Not Recommended

The Splinter is made from Maple, Plywood and MDF, designers from North Carolina State University have used wood pretty much anywhere they could.

Wonder if it floats?

A 4.6L V8 produces 600bhp and moves the 15ft wump of wood from 0-60mph in 3 seconds, topping out at 240mph, not bad for a car where the 6 speed manual transmission made mostly out wood too.
