It's art. It's not a car, as such.

A lot of effort goes into such a piece, unlike a lot of 'splashy' F-art that painters do that seemingly expresses the emotional maturity of a four year old.

So is it high art? WGAF! Like John Cleese as the pope, "I want ONE last supper, with ONE messiah, TWELVE disciples and NO bloody giraffes. I may not know much about art, but I know what I like!"

In answer to your question - the purpose is to demonstrate the abilities of whoever built it.

As a car it is totally overdone and impractical - as a capability statement its as it should be and therefore is simply a piece of marketing which is more effective than brochures.

I know it's amazing but I'm not sure if that means it's amazingly good or amazingly bad. You've got to respect the guy's dedication.

A two fingered statement to the snobs of bling & doing your own thing.

Time I fitted the furry dice.
