Before we can even say, “Where to even start?” let’s start with the suspension. It’s all wood! In front it has unequal length wooden control arms and wooden transverse leaf springs — just like a Corvette. That rear features wooden trailing arms and another set of tree-derived transverse leaf springs. Now, you might be thinking “Big deal” because obvioulsy this is a sculpture, not for roads. And you’d be wrong. The Splinter Vision — as builder Joe Harmon is calling the world’s fastest tree — is powered by a 700 hp twin-turbo LS5 V8!! Seriously, the steering wheel is wooden, the monocoque chassis is wooden, the seats are wooden, the body’s made from wood — everything except the drivetrain, wheel centers and brakes are made from trees! We’re not going to call Mr. Harmon nuts, but he sure is comitted. You can find out more info than you can handle on one of his various webistes (here, too). So, here’s the question — the Splinter Vision will be able to go 240 mph. Does it make an iota of difference what it’s made out of? Anything else capable of moving that quickly (McLaren F1, Koenigsegg CXX, Bugatti Veyron) is constructed out of baked plastic. Also — special maniac/brass balls points for having the driver’s legs slot between the upper and lower (wooden) control arms. That’s just… I think the Aussies have a term for this kind of thinking. It goes something like, “Shit the fucking bed, mate!” Video of the disconnect from reality build after the jump. And holy hell do we hope the Splinter works. [Cheers to Dang for the tip]
