Artist creates full-size McLaren F1 car entirely out of paper
We’ve seen a McLaren F1 car built entirely from Lego, and now we’ve been presented with this: a full-scale McLaren F1 car constructed solely from sheets of paper. Yup, it’s origami meets motorsport.

The creation is the work of Florian Weber, who spent his formative years studying car design before establishing a talent for building models out of paper.
Under the name Paperlegend he has a full-time job creating miniature sculptures, with a Ferrari F40, Mercedes G-Wagen, Lamborghini Countach and Porsche 911 among the incredible kits on his online shop.

Those go as low as 1:18 scale, though this one's life-sized. “When I started my journey as Paperlegend, I created 1:8 scale paper sculptures of legendary cars, but I had always dreamt of creating a full-scale paper sculpture of a race car,” he said.
