Splinter: Wooden Supercar - Got Wood?
Splinter: Wooden Supercar - Renewable Supercar - Automobile Magazine
From God's own composite, Joe Harmon is making a renewable supercar.

Yes, this is a wooden car. Forget the jokes. Anyone making more than mere decorative use of wood in an automobile has heard them all. And doesn't care.

2010 Porsche Cayenne S Transsyberia - The Transsyberia Rally Race - Automobile Magazine

A rally-racing Cayenne? Porsche factory driver Carles Celma is making a convincing argument for it, a twenty-foot rooster tail of shredded earth spewing from the rear tires as he power-slides down a straightaway. There's a hard, fast left ahead; the Spaniard left-foot brakes and-magically-the SUV transfers its two-and-a-half tons, sliding just short of a precipice that drops 100 feet into a valley. Celma sends the Cayenne bucking through a dry, sandy wash and then aims the vehicle down a narrow dirt track, blurred tree branches slapping hard at the windows.
