Mmmmm wood :drool:

Ha
I'm not sure I want a sports car that has a wooden subframe :?

That’s what they said about the Mosquito in WW2... which was able to fly faster, pack heavier guns & take more punishment than either a spitfire of hurricane

No doubt over 70 years ago it kicked ass, but back to 2019 I'm guessing the Eurofighter Typhoon isn't made of wood :wink:

Next time u go to Silverstone or elsewhere, go speak to some of the race teams - incredibly quite a few still use wood for custom splitters, rear defusers etc... as many of these parts are bespoke & it’s quicker & easier to make it out of lightweight wood such as teak etc... which is often lighter & stronger than its plastic equivalent.

Only learnt this when I asked my m8 WTF is the plank doing on the back of your race car...

I can always remember when Morgan used to do the endurance racing in Australia, Bathurst , the sharp witted commentators used to share the joke that they always knew when the Morgan pit stop was due as it was the only team that had 3 mechanics and two carpenters stood in the pit lane :lol:

The zf 8 speed weighs almost 50kg more than the 6 speed manual...
Thats a lot for a car that just weighs over 1000kg; it could have been a really nice weight save.

Just the thought of that Z4 3.0 engine and 1075kg dry weight makes me smile.
