Constructed using boatbuilding techniques, the Tyrane II wooden sports car by Friend Wood is crafted from streets of veneer and epoxy resin. It boasts a 602cc flat twin air-cooled Citroen engine and can zip along at 100mph. Weighing 900 pounds, it’s reportedly all for the pleasure of the creator, and is not for sale.

Inspired by a WWII airplane called the De Havilland Mosquito, the Splinter by Joe Harmon Design is a high-performance supercar with a body, chassis, suspension, wheels and interior made from wood. Strips of veneer are woven into a cloth to achieve the compound curvature required by the car’s sleek silhouette. Its powertrain is based on a small black 7.0 liter V8 engine connected to a six-speed manual transmission. The whole thing took about five years for a team to build.
