"It's been a dream of mine to design and build its own cars since childhood. Wood provides additional challenges that I think might make the project more interesting direction," said Harmon, as quoted from Gizmag, Wednesday (16/12/2015).
 

As in sports cars in general, Splinter has an aerodynamic body design. Except glass and the front side, as well as the headlights and rear, all the components are made of wood designed himself. Even peleknya sort of wood.
 

Although this car out of wood, but the engines gahar the small-block V8 7.0 liter engine block and head of aluminum. Power it produces 700 bhp. The big engine combined with a six-speed manual transmission.
 

Despite the suspension, the legs, the steering mechanism, and SASI car made of wood, some of the component parts have to rely on metallic materials, such as six-piston front brake calipers and two-piston rear calipers.
