Splinter Supercar Concept 2008

[CORRUPTEDDISC]

With one of the most beautiful body finishes of any car I've ever seen, the Splinter Concept is an almost completely wooden supercar that bears something of a resemblance to the Ford GT90. It weighs in at just 1,134 kgs and is powered by a twin supercharged 600 horsepower 4.6 litre V8, giving it a projected maximum speed of 240 mph, although this hasn't been tested.

Although the chances seem slim, I would love to see the Splinter debut on GranTurismo...

I was going to suggest this 👍 Nice car even though it´s made of wood

It's wood. That means that it will catch fire. I dislike.

Then again, you can't catch fire in GT6...

 

[Tsukishima]

What wood happen if it crashed?

 

[RagingDaemon]

Would it expand if it got wet in a rainy race?

Oh boy, no point in having the Furai if you could...

So can carbon.

I would go out on a limb and say that the company maple it from the market if it's safety systems were to be compromised.

It will break very easily, so be careful when driving it.

If Gran Turismo ever had 100% perfect damage physics, I could probably spend a week crashing this car into the back of the computer cars, into tyre/concrete walls and just watch the thing explode into a sawdust bomb.

I´m just afraid... Wouldn´t my driver get a splinter in it´s bum if the car jumped or went against a barrier?

 

[JKgo]

Ugly....and I want it for some reason.

Joke: What happened to the car with a wooden chassis, a wooden cockpit and wooden wheels?
Answer: It wooden go.

Would it expand if it got wet in a rainy race?

Not if it had several coats of a durable varnish. No need to worry at all.

I usually like companies that try something different, go against the grain if you will, but this car is knot for me.

You may only drive this cars with wooden shoes ...

Would it expand if it got wet in a rainy race?

I'm sure they've thought of that.

I'm amazed how many people think that the Splinter is poorly made.
It's not.
