Wonder Woman, Your Car Is Ready: Full-Size Wireframe Subaru WRX Sculpture

news.windingroad.com — This isn't an optical illusion or a computer-generated outline of a Subaru, it's an actual 1:1 sculpture by a British artist, and it looks like what you'd imagine Wonder Woman's car to be. Incredible pictures!

  • D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+38Am I the only one who would leave that in a parking space and not fill the meter with change just to see what cops would do?
  • Philodox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31"So whats the 0-60 on that baby?"

    However long it takes you to run 60mph with that thing strapped to you.
  • halofourteen, on 10/12/2007, -4/+29Dugg because it's a Subaru.
  • idc5, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20looks straight out of AUTOCAD or 3d studio max
    cool, original piece of art
  • DarthSupero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17"Apparently local traffic cops weren’t pleased that the art was parked outside of the gallery on the street, as over the course of a few days, it was issued a few parking tickets!"

    Give you a parking ticket, I guess.

    Neat representation of a car, though. Very slick.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15they need to park one of those in front of Pixar.
  • Dumbledorito, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Dude, that guy's graphics card can't handle sh*t.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14It would be interesting to know how the local parking laws define "vehicle". How can they issue a ticket without a license plate or registered owner?
  • black|math, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13"So whats the 0-60 on that baby?"

    With a parachute and 80 mph wind? Pretty nice.
  • Romero3160, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14Dugg also because its a GC8 Subaru
  • XdigitalXdeathX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Wow that's trippy.
  • Dumbledorito, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Were I the cop, I would have made a copy of the ticket on acetate transparency and left it on the car.
  • panique, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Reminds me of a Jackie the Joke Man joke:

    Superman says to Batman, "hey the other day, I was flying by Wonder Woman's place, and she was out on the roof laying out in the sun -- butt naked". Batman says "so what did you do?". "Well, I flew down there, whipped it out, and mounted her, heh heh". Batman says "so, was she surprised?". "Not half as suprised as The Invisible Man"
  • chuckpenzone, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Dude where's my car?
  • Romero3160, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8yea across the pond in europe and japan they did offer the the GC8 as a WRX AND and STi

    Every subie owner knows that
  • sanman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Much better animated:

  • ModernGeek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Maybe they just wrote the tickets for fun. At most, they'd have it towed or maybe thrown out.
  • imightbewrong, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10Impreza GC8 FTW!!!
  • ricksite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6All-wheel drive FTW!
  • tatical, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5As a Scooby owner myself, I find it hard to believe that a STi owner doesn't know what the original WRX/STi looked like (or how it kicked ass).
    The original WRX looked like these...

  • Pottersquash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Its stuff like this that makes you realize just how much "Invisible Airplane" sucked as a method of transportation
  • mikeruiz7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Damn, he even got the YOKOHAMA on the tire. That's pretty damn cool.
  • klawz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I was thinking more or less Automan' car: http://images.google.com/images?client=safari&rls=en&q=automan%20car&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi
  • SuperNintendo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That must have been so unreal to see in person. I'm glad they got such good pictures of it.

    ~ SuperNintendo @ nasioc :banana:
  • DrDabbles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@solemnraven: Maybe you should be trolling NASIOC instead of DIGG then. Just a thought.
  • lyphstylz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2from the wheels that slip to the wheels that grip ;) i heart my GT
  • Mootabolife, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4If you compressed it into a ball and threw it...
  • AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -0/+1http://digg.com/television/Automan_s01e01_Pilot :)
  • HardwareWeenie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1There are actually shadows, they are from the flash on the camera, you have to zoom in close to see them.
  • AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -0/+1Look for it on google videos, I just found the pilot episode. :-D
  • adc86, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You know, if every story containing a comment querying the possibility of said story to reach the front page were deleted, analogies could be formed relating Digg's story content to the amount of a life you posses.

    Have a good day.
  • axisds, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Totally badass! 1:1 and trippy as hell to look at. Nice details too!
  • antdude, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I want to see Wonder Woman or someone drive it!
  • Xinareiaz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2In front of a Johnny B Goods in my town there is a wire frame Cadillac.
  • srodolff, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1hmmmm.........

    Make collapsible......add motion detector with alarm.........

    Perfect parking place holder.......

    Now all I need to do is patent this...........oh wait.
  • barbe66, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0car hire - http://www.carhire.cz
  • JoeCotellese, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Anyone remember Automan?
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automan
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2It's cool but the shadows have all been airbrushed out making it have a much greater illusionistic look.
  • akinnee, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2that looks pretty fake. cool though.
  • profOblivion, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Check the daylight picture. There are shadows by the wheels as well as the sides. As far as why there's no shadows on the night pictures, my guess is that the flashbulb caused the shadows to be directly behind each line.
  • sentai, on 09/09/2008, -0/+0http://www.r92.info nice work man
  • stevenem, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1awesome. where can i get one.
  • bigmat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1thanks for reminding me of Automan, a series I loved when I was growing up but had forgotten the name of until now!
  • LtCarter47, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"Every subie owner knows that"

    Every single one huh? Guaranteed?
  • UnFriendlyFire, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I don't believe it. It is too well lit to be on a dark street. The cars in the back ground are almost black in the shadows. Also I can't see where the wheels are attached to the rest of the car and some of the lines just fade in to nothingness.
  • theonesteve, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I can see how it would be easy to crash into the thing. You're going to park your Enormovan on a snowy day and BAM! you crush the wireframe Subaru.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1"So whats the 0-60 on that baby?"

    Depends on how fast the flatdeck can tow it away.

    The real WRX STi actually accelerates and does the 1/4 mile faster than a '70 Chevelle LS6 454. I love muscle cars but even I had raised eyebrows on that one.
  • jgoodman22, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Throw some D's on that.
