This life-sized replica car made completely from paper has hit the road, but it's not going anywhere fast.
Brooklyn artist Jonathan Brand has constructed every single part of a 1969 Mustang coupe using nothing but paper.
The 31-year-old made a digital blueprint of the car and then printed it on a large-format inkjet printer.
Replica: The entire 1969 Mustang coupe has been made from paper, including the spark plugs, nuts and bolts, and radiator
The final work will not be assembled into an entire vehicle, but remain as separate pieces of art.
The vehicle is on display in an exhibition entitled 'One Piece at a Time' at the Hosfelt Gallery in New York City until October 29.
