    Very few people are lucky enough to see a beetle in its dehydrated state; this makes it easier for shipping, and usually the dealer will ‘unpack’ the beetle.

    If you somehow receive a dehydrated beetle, just add water and it should unfold into the shape people are more familiar with (fair warning: make sure you do it outside, it’s a one time process)

    Beetle sphere takes the vehicle’s iconic curves to the extreme. Responding to the car’s loaded political history and signature design, the work features the twentieth-century design classic warped into a sphere comprised of authentic and fabricated components. To avoid the damage involved in reshaping a real car, Noor carved a spherical polyurethane replica of the vehicle’s body and then cast it in aluminium. A separate spherical interior was produced and fit to the cast exterior. The resulting sculpture is augmented with original car parts by the manufacturer to complete the illusion.

    neat!

    I can’t remember of there’s multiple of these, but if not, I saw the same one in Vegas during an F1 event.

        Seems like, in that case, it would just slide.

            I’ve never written any kind of paper outside of an intro level class, so I’m forced to assume you want something like

      That’s what the Volkswagen Beetle looked like. It was very challenging to get in and out and you needed a bunch of chocks to secure it when parked.
