Is a two-seater American supercar concept made of wood. It was created by a team led by Joe Harmon, an industrial designer from North Carolina.
There are no plans to mass-produce this vehicle.
The structure is made from a variety of bent and laminated wood veneers, with bodywork produced from woven veneer. The target weight is 1,134 kg
With a projected 600 bhp (450 kW) from a twin-supercharged 4.6L V8 engine, a top speed of 386 km/h has been predicted, but not be tested.
The wheels are made to a multi-piece design, with spun metal rims and wooden centres. These centres are laminated from wood veneer and embellished with radial spokes. These spokes were routed from solid wood and are stood off the wheel centres in such a way as to make them appear to float.
One noteworthy feature of the suspension is the use of osage orange wood in laminated, transversely mounted leaf springs.
