Wooden Supercar

This is for all the fans of wood out there. What else can you buy now that you have already pre-ordered your wooden Gundam? How about a wooden car for 3,900,000 yen?
This car is produced by a local furniture maker in Maniwa city - and like all small companies in Japan, they dont have a site that I can direct you to.
The "Wooden Supercar" is 1.3 meters wide x 2.5 meters in length x 1.1 meters high and has a max speed of 80km/h.
You can see last nights coverage of this car at WBS (video is only available for today and is darn Real Player). You can also see earlier coverage in the Otavids section.
Images from Doblog and Madame Ako.


If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

Wow, I would love to see that while I'm driving down the road lol. The owner would need to be a non-smoker though or his whole car will go up in flames or that random sparks will do the job too ^-^

You watched quite a nice business show there (Seto Uchi Business Weekly). I also use to watch a Japanese show called Keizai Roshin Pan.

Is it solar-powered? Otherwise I don't see what kind of energy it would use without any risk of it burning... literally.
Watch out for splinters, rocks, termites... and so on.
And if it's from tropical wood, expect to get some riot from environmental groups.
Too much of a bother. I would try but surely not buy one at all.

Ah, come on, no safety belt?
Even if it doesn't go that fast, no safety belt is a big no-no ;)
Still, if it becomes the future for clean cars, why not...
Got to watch for those termites and arsonists though. Ye never know.

3 major problems with this idea.
1. You would be needing a helmet.
2. How are you going to wash that?
3. Unexpected forcast
Why buy this if you can just get a real car?

Is that thing road legal? What about all those rigorous safety/ crash tests? Surely it would crumple like a paper cup in a smash?

I've seen cars with their chassis made of wood, but lol to this. I can imagine what would happen if you had a turbo on it. Once boost hits it'd probably break something.

Although i think thats very good to have made something liek that, im not sure i would necessarily want one, especially when it rains.
But it must have taken ages to make.

Must've taken at least a year to build that. If someone does buy it though, that's a pretty hefty amount of money.
