You've always wanted a knock-off, pedal powered Porsche that was actually constructed largely out of Balsa wood and tin foil painted gold, right? Well, who wouldn't?
Yes, I do.
probably the only Porsche i would ever be able to afford....and thats only if i built it myself :( Looking good though!
This is what real pedal powered Posches look like:

@SeeKo Only that these are more expensive than the one above :D
@SeeKo What, no recaros?
Holy...shit.....lol...that's badass.
I would, at least, be able to tell people i own a porsche. I bet the insurance would be cheap.....i wonder if i can smoke in it???
@Siefe
It might catch fire. How flammable is balsa?
3D modelling IRL. Awesome!
Now that'll make Fred Flinstone jealous.
Actually, nm. If they put the rack of Dino ribs on this thing your blood would stop flowing. And not from eating 1,000 LBS of ribs.
This is the most awesome thing i have seen this month! Or year.
If i ever find myself with a gigantic amount of time on my hands, i know what my new hobby will be.

Wow, I knew that "balsa flies better"... but does it drive better? Iron-on, plastic film covering would look nice too, and protect this awesome modeling masterpiece.
Pedal power? Why not gang up a few air-cooled 1.2cc, 4-stroke R/C engines for added realism?
The litle car is smiling at me.
Yes, it does.
He has a lot of balsa to make this
I wonder what the top speed you can reach is if your going balsa-out!
fail i know...
Woohoo, I can be faster than a Porsche!
... on my bike.
Balsa wood? It looked more like PVC tubing. (Although I want to know where he gets the square PVC parts, as I've never seen those before. Is that electrical conduit or something?)
I got wood for that wood.
YABBA DABBA DOO!
but can you drive it ?
damn
