The BMW Z4 Made Entirely out of Bricks
Dai Geng, a Chinese artist spent more than a year cementing the brick blocks together which he then carved into a model of a sporty BMW Z4, which can exceed speeds of 150mph. Displayed in Shenzheng, southeastern China, the car also features hinged doors that open and close quite easily. Except for the windows, everything is made from brick, even the hinges that allow the door to open and close just like metal ones.
The brick car, which is 5 metres long, 2.15 metres wide, 1.6 metres high and weighs 6.5 tons, was completed in 2007 and was displayed at different places. Hunting for buyers now, Geng is looking £80,000 ($126,000) for the car which took him a year to cement together to perfection. He is hoping the car will be sold for use as a garden ornament and bought by one of the newly rich Chinese who regard BMW as extremely desirable because of the quality and performance.
