Fat Car II

Erwin Wurm's second interpretation of his Fat Car theme is a Porsche.

I bet they are really happy about this in Stuttgart.

If you haven't seen it before, here's the original, from 2001:

Can't see the original, but the Porsche is hilarious. I want to see a Chrysler 300 done up like this.

These cars need to do several laps of the Nordschliefe...

A Chrysler 300 already looks like this.

Well, yes. That's what I was thinking. What can you do with a car that is already seriously fat?

Folks this really belongs to Bluebottle in the Road Car forum. I'll leave a link here though.

FWIW I think the Chrysler 300 is one of the best cars to come out of Chrysler Benz for many years.

No it doesn't - these aren't road cars! Don't let that stop you, though.

It is surprisingly good. Looks great with a sport/Bentley grill! Just don't show it a corner.

Actually I'd love to race one...

You're right, I'll just live with it, Please.

Can't see it getting round the Mallory hairpin too well.

BTW, is that another interpritation of the "Jellymould"?

In actual fact, they don't move, they are sculptures.

It would probably run out of fuel half way up eau rouge!

**Peter Mallett** · 12 Feb 2006, 16:39 (Ref:1521018)

Ah but that's only 'cos they're sculptures though.

Yes and to most people that's pretty evident. But of course, they carry license plates! - Slap a license plate on Nelson's Column and that makes it - hmmm... - that's in a no parking area now, right? - it'll get towed.

Art.
Social/political statement.
Or just the heck of it.

I think it was a Mitsubishi Lancer but I honestly don't know for certain. It's actually flesh coloured btw - looks even more, erm, impressive in real life.
