Apple concept car by Truong Van Dao from ND Woodworking Art
Truong Van Dao of ND Woodworking Art is back with another handmade wooden vehicle he built for his children. This time he interprets a Apple Concept car into a real, functional wooden vehicle with an open top and a Steel Frame covered with wood. The raw surface of the Wood glitters in the light through its paint and neon green light strips on the sides glow to warn other drivers on the road. The Two-seater handmade Apple’s concept car is equipped with a steering wheel and an armrest between the driver and passenger, which is also made of wood. Without the brand’s logo, it wouldn’t be an Apple concept car coming to life.
Truong Van Dao makes the apple out of wood. He places it on the rear of his wooden vehicle so that it lights up next to the beam above it. He also places the logo on the surface of the hood as well as in the center of the steering wheel. For the dashboard and the control panel on the armrest, he cuts out photos of a typical iPhone menu display. He embeds them in a molded container and mounts them in their positions. Then he turns on the lights so that they appear animated. This is not the first time Truong Van Dao has created a vehicle from scratch, as his Tesla Cybertruck made of wood and a Vehicle that looks like a time machine.

Functional wooden vehicle with hypercar-like design
There were reports that Apple was developing its own and first self-driving electric car. In the end, the company abandoned the project called Project Titan. For this reason, The 2,000-person team working on the project has been moved to the company’s artificial intelligence division to focus more on generative AI work, a Bloomberg report said. cover. The report also mentions that it was a decade-long effort from the team. With this news in mind, Apple fans have tried their hand at designing their interpretation of the brand’s concept car.
Industrial designer John Mauriello has already used DALL·E 2 to create his Apple concept car. His prompt was “minimalist sports car inspired by a MacBook”. The AI software created a hill-like vehicle without doors and windows. Looking at this design, it may seem similar to Truong Van Dao by ND Woodworking Art handcrafted around the wheel area. His Apple concept car is comparable to the design of a hypercar due to its wooden frame and rear. This is evident in its sloping and vacuum-like rear. So far, the car is just a personal project of the designer.
