Vroom Vroom by Lorenzo Quinn

London's swanky Park Lane boulevard has just received a new art installation piece, and it's sure to turn some heads. Simply entitled "Vroom Vroom", the piece is the brainchild of one Lorenzo Quinn. It's built around the classic Fiat 500 that was the sculptor's first car, grasped by a giant hand crafted out of aluminum and modeled after his own son's.

The impression is that of an oversized child playing with a toy that to us would seem like a full-size car. The piece was previously displayed in Abu Dhabi and Valencia, Spain, before making its way to the neighborhood that is home to some of London's finest hotels and boutiques.
