The students at NC State University are taking green car design to a new extreme. The project goal was to build a super car from wood, and their updates show they are making progress. It's incredible to watch this amazing machine taking shape.
The all-wood car body work is hand mated to the chassis which will eventually hold a super Cadillac V8 engine. So, while the car may be made from green materials, it will be a gas hog.
