As we have noticed earlier wood trend is on - wood has most unusual applications like Bathroom wood mozaics, Wooden bicycles, Wood Carpets That Can Roll Up, even wood iPod was created.

Now we have a wooden sports car! Wooden SuperCar ''Maniwa'' manufactured by Sada-Kenbi. According to the designboom post
"this japanese sports car manufactured by sada-kenbi is made
from wood. also known as maniwa, this special car was hand built by wood craftsmen and is actually legal to drive in japan. the car can accelerate up to 80km/h and is for sale at a bargain price of 44,000 USD. it also features a motorcycle-like handlebar steering system, gull wing doors and even has
a stereo. it seats one driver up front on a wooden seat and has a wood bench behind for up to two passengers. the designers even made a pedal-power version for kids."
You can look at its production here:


Дървената спортна кола ''Maniwa'' е произведена ръчно от by Sada-Kenbi. Те не се занимават с производство на коли, а с ръчно производство на изделия от дърво и целта им е била да покажат, че "няма нещо, което да не може да бъде направено от дърво". Колата е действаща и може да се види по улиците на Япония. Може да достигне до 80-90 км/час и да се поръча за 40 000$. Дизайнерите са направили и детска версия със задвижване с педали.
