[国际新闻] 英国家具商弗雷德·伍德造三轮木头汽车

由于不满一辆辆锈迹斑斑的报废汽车污染环境,英国家具制造商弗雷德·伍德想出一个妙招——手工打造世界上第一辆“永不生锈”的“木头汽车”。据悉,伍德为造双座位、三轮汽车共花去了2000多个小时,它重408公斤,体长4.14米,最高时速达163公里。

The two-seater was put together using the chassis and 602cc engine from a Citroen 2CV. Mr Wood then built up layers of African mahogany around a basic mould using a boat-building technique known as 'cold moulding'.3 j" n) g7 ^* m
