The Fat Car was designed by the world-renowned Austrian sculptor Erwin Wurm, who has been pushing the envelope of sculpture since the 1980s. The Fat Car was designed by taking the frame of a Porsche and imbuing it with polyurethane foam, fiberglass, and styrofoam covered with lacquer.
Wurm first exhibited the car in 2005 at Xavier Hufkens, in an attempt to challenge the “link between power, wealth, and body weighty.” The concept car was depicted as a “puffy, obese, life-size sculpture that bulge like overfilled sacks.”

The Funny Car is traditionally a type of drag racing vehicle that’s used in specific racing classes. They are characterized by having tilt-up bodies over custom, fabricated chassis, and they’re very popular in showrooms around the world.
The designer of this “funny” car took the term to a different level, by crafting a bright orange, open-mouthed car that resembles a cartoon character. The driver and passengers sit on the “tongue” of the car, in between the jaw and “roof” of the mouth.
