Is that a Lexus IS luxury sedan? Yes! Why does it look different in the picture? Because it is made of cardboard. No freaking way! Yes, It is a replica of the IS sedan and everything in this car is 1,700 pieces of cardboard.And the best part is you can drive it provided your friend does not smoke near it or drives it in the rain.

Lexus calls it the Origami car and was designed by a company by the name LaserCut Works and Scales and Models Company.According to Wired Magazine, the Lexus Origami car's design was based on the CAD files of the real IS sedan.They cut the CAD files of the original car into 1,700 pieces with laser and put them together with wood glue to form the body, which they later placed on the chassis.

It took the team of five three months to fully build the cardboard Lexus IS sedan into a working model.The IS cardboard lookalike uses an electric motor to get you on the road.It is a fully functional cardboard vehicle.

Impressive?Of course it is! Anyway this is not the first time we've seen a company make something brilliant out of sheets of cardboard.Google did something similar with Cardboard, a virtual reality viewer made of cardboard.No pun intended!It allows Android smartphone owners to experience virtual reality in an affordable way.
