Chinese Man Carves Lamborghini From Mahogany
By Ben Hooper PUTIAN, China, November 26, 2014 (UPI) -- A Chinese wood craftsman said a full size mahogany car he modeled after a Lamborghini roadster can reach speeds of 18 mph using an electric engine. Yu Jietao of Putian said it took him more than a year to carve and assemble the vehicle from materials he said cost more than $16,000. Yu said he outfitted the mahogany frame with tires and an electric engine to allow it to drive at speeds of 18 mph. The carver said his mock Lamborghini has been gaining a lot of attention from locals, with some collectors offering up to $35,000 for his creation.  · |

I'd like to see the aftermath of that in a crash  And what happens if the motor overheats? |

Re: Chinese Man Carves Lamborghini From Mahogany
I didn't say it was pretty, but, it gets points for creativity from a guy who, apparently, had a lot of time on his hands. |
