This car could be one of the most beautiful carved cars we have ever seen.
This creation is also one the most stunning sports cars ever made. The 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster is a masterpiece in curves. From its low-slung hood to the round fenders and fiberglass boot with dual hump, the hood has a flared arch. This is what you should keep in mind as you view this 11-minute video. You will follow it from beginning to end because the transformation of one chunk of wood into this stunning Porsche is both satisfying and hypnotic.
This air-cooled 911 copy is made from one piece of rectangular Cypress Wood. The body is traced and cut in one piece, as with previous projects. It’s a necessity due to the 911’s curvaceous physique. This means that most of the work cannot be done using power tools. The 911 Speedster is made possible by a hammer, several chisels and amazing talent. Although we don’t know how long it took to complete this project, nearly every curve on this wood-carved wonder was created with a chisel.
The detail work is amazing, as usual. To access proper storage, the frunk can be opened. You can see the interior from the outside by opening the doors. It features a correct dash layout, and even a period-accurate Porsche steering column. The engine cover can be opened to reveal a detailed flat-six engine of 3.2-liters. Five-spoke wheels feature tiny Porsche crests at the center caps. A clear coat is applied to the final assembly to make it glow.
A 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster is worth easily over $100,000 in today’s market. The wooden replica is currently listed on the Etsy page of PS824, and it costs $1,139.25. This Speedster seems like the best deal of the century, considering the quality and time involved in its creation.
