Quote:LONDON (Reuters) - As temperatures soared in London on Tuesday, one car kept its cool at the British International Motor Show - Ford's 6.5-tonne ice sculpture of its new Focus Coupe-Cabriolet.http://crazy-clips.blogspot.com/2006/07/co...r-ford-ice.html
The full-size model took a team of sculptors working in a giant freezer two weeks to complete. Each shift was limited to just 40 minutes at a time because of the extreme cold -- set at a numbing minus 10 degrees Celsius.
Specialist carving tools imported from Japan and the United States were used, including an advanced computer-driven cutting machine.
Although the ice Ford weighs more than five real Focus models, it won't last for nearly as long.
