A new super car named the 'Splinter', is set to hit the markets this year.The car can turn out a whopping 700bhp from its twin supercharged, 4.6litre V8 engine - almost 300bhp more than a Porsche 911. With a top speed of 240 mph, it will be faster then a Lamborghini and get 20 mpg. Did I mention that everything is made of wood? From the shocks to the seats, the car has everything that can be wood, wood. In fact some parts of the engine are wood, too.
A Swiss man by the name of Yves Rossy has built the world's first jet powered wing backpack,
known as a jetwing. it is not a jetpack because of the wing component, which makes lift possible. He recently flew across the English Channel. He is funded by a watch company, so he called himself 'Fusion Man' after their new product line.

I'm not sure if I would want to strap into one of those...
Hi Bo! I'm not sure I want a mostly wood car. What is bph, anyway? Yves Rossy did one of the coolest things in the history of flight. He almost made a jetpack! I really want one! But what are the safety features?
