Lexus IS was made out of 1,700 fully recyclable laser-cut cardboard sheets.
Every detail was recreated, down to the cup holders, switches and
interior lines. They did cheat a little, since making an engine out of
cardboard hasn’t been mastered yet – so the body (aluminum) and probably
some other features (like the lights) aren’t cardboard. But STILL. This thing drives. Lexus hired LaserCut Works to
create this surreal-mobile in celebration of human craftsmanship and
particularly the mad skills of the men and women who work on the
company’s production lines in Japan.
