This is a fully drivable,
all-wooden Bugatti, about one-third the
size of an actual car. Built by Vietnamese
woodworker Truong Van Dao, it's a nearly perfect
replica of Bugatti's $8.9 million Centodieci
hypercar. And he built it in just 40 days. Narrator: Dao started
with the vehicle's undercarriage
and chassis. Without any
pictures to go by, he used his best judgment based on similar car projects he's done before,
like this Ferrari. Narrator: Dao relied on
the local marketplace and e-commerce sites
to collect parts for the car's drivetrain, which includes
a small electric motor, front and rear axles, and small gears to get
the wheels rolling. Narrator: The most complex
part of the project was the car's body.
This includes
the hood, fenders, bumpers, and rear, most of which Dao carved
using a chain saw. Narrator: To accurately
recreate the body, Dao scanned online pictures of the Centodieci's different
sections onto paper. He then traced those
scanned images onto the actual wood. The smallest details he
drew manually himself. Narrator: Those details
include the grill, side-view mirrors, and even a wing
almost identical to those found on
the Bugatti Centodieci. After carving out the interior, Dao then added
the steering wheel, which even features an almost
identical Bugatti logo. Once the wheel was screwed into the car's wooden
steering column, it was then time for
the finishing touches. Narrator: So far,
Dao's Bugatti, as well as his other cars, have gained loads
of attention online. But despite the requests
from collectors, for now, he seems happy with them
at home in his garage..
