I somehow wish it have a cardboard engine inside ! XD

That's awesome!

This is one wicked work of art!

Ironic how they used a wasteful material to make a model based on a hybrid.

it's cool but seems like they don't know the meaning of origami ....origami is the art of folded paper....this is far from that....it's just made of slices of cardboard....cool but not origami :S

I'm sorry, but that actually scares/disturbs me (in a childlike manner). Still a creative effort, but I really cannot look at it with ease.

Interestingly enough, this is also Lexus' first electric car!

Wow that is just stunning work!
Now that's what I call BRILLIANT marketing!

Nightmares of paper cars as a child?

Nightmares of paper cars as a child?

Well, not really. It's just the texturing and it being so full-size. I work with clay models very often, so I've learned to get used to "fake" cars in 1:1. As long as they don't look "mutated", it helps. I honestly prefer clay or fibreglass, with paper as a substitute for design features/cues.

The last thing to put off like this example, was this image from 6 years ago. It just looked so wrong, that it gave me the shivers. I guess some things make me tick for weird reasons. I can barely look at the Infiniti pic...
