hmm...if its made out of wood,it must be some damm special wood to withstand the heat and moisture of the elements and plus wood warps.

quite nice looking,although i dont really like the squarish design aka lamborgini shaped

I don't think it's wood; the low quality renders have that as a base appearance for a lot of materials. The higher quality renders make it look like it's a carbon-fiber type composite material.

Wood in vehicles is a disastrous idea for a lot of reasons. Even high temperature and pressure treated wood will eventually warp, especially when it's reheated. Also, think about a car accident... everyone just loves millions of wood splinters flying everywhere at high speeds (a splinter of wood from a vehicle of something like 2k to 3k lbs going at 65mph could probably hit well over 300mph...)

I really think it's an advanced composite... VERY nice look though, like a souped up lambo, if that's even possible, hahaha.

Interesting... I guess because it's such a monstrously high end concept car, the models will always be in temperature and humidity controlled environments, only taken out in special times, yada yada yada... That's a crazy idea in my book, I wouldn't want to be in a wood vehicle going 200mph!
