looks really neat..but what will happen in the Monsoons? all that wood might just rot away…
Really wonderful but in Indian traffic , it will get crushed in no time!
The car looks awesome, but woodden cars means more trees cut down right? Does Japan have green policies in place for this?
Hey people….thanks for the comments…this is not a car, u will see getting commercialized. All our concerns from the monsoon to environmental hazards are absolutely valid. None the less this is a perfect way to draw a contrast between innovation and commercial innovation (which it is not). But I am sure it is wonderful to look at. Great aesthetics!
What if it rains?
Looks good, but is not a green car…..I think it has an engine….and lots of wood cut for producing it, which is very bad for environment
