NC State ID student Joe Harmon's graduation project was initially inspired by WWII era all-wood aircraft like the de Havilland Mosquito--raising the question, "Why not a wooden car?" He ended up with Splinter, a "mid-engined, monocoque design to be constructed almost entirely out of wood laminates with a target weight of 2500 lbs and a power goal of over 600 horsepower...whew...and he's got it all up on a damn-snappy site with "Splinter Vision" that allows you to poke around every nook and cranny of the design. Splinter Vision...yes it's as intense as it sounds. Despite the level of practicality, we've gotta commend Joe for being thorough, at the very least.
