伍德依据空气动力学原理,精心设计了一个线条流畅的全木车身。随后他又从家具市场上淘来上好的非洲桃花心木,造出一个厚度为6毫米的木质车身。最后,他为爱车涂上清漆,并起了“特亚尼二世”的名字。 6 ]& R# _$ |/ i: ?. e) ]8 A6 ~- J2 G/ d8 z1 [& ^
与传统汽车相比,它除了车身不是钢制的以外,总共只有三个车轮。它重408公斤,体长4.14米,最高时速达163公里。伍德的这辆新车被视为“绿色汽车”,一经问世,便深得国际环保人士的好评。 + h# v: }0 [, p* f7 p$ r # h/ P& f \% `0 ^The three-wheeled car made from wood 9 w- {) ~+ h# u7 c# g2 |8 K' p/ L- [- c. F# T; A) A( }9 s

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'. 2 p2 J* J& D9 l; U8 n0 W- U0 }" g6 A* e: w# E6 N0 d
