Nissan is celebrating five years of success of its Juke crossover by hiring artist Owen Gildersleeve to create an origami copy of the car.
Gildersleeve spent a total of 200 hours, or a little more than eight days, folding and gluing together 2,000 pieces of paper, to create the origami replica of the Nissan SUV in its exact dimensions.
The origami version showcases even the tiniest details of the Juke, from its wheel spokes down to its brake lights that have metallic paper so it appears illuminated, Daily Mail reports.
The stunt coincides with the celebration of World Origami Days, which is held from Oct. 24 through Nov. 11.
The Juke is the second most popular Nissan model in Europe with more than 700,000 units sold since it was brought to market. It is also popular in the U.S., with its sales remaining consistently at 2,000 to 4,000 units almost every month since October of 2010, according to CNET on Yahoo! News.
Nissan Juke is not like the models Volkswagen Golf, Scirocco and many other cars particularly built in the 1970 that have a "folded-paper school of design" characteristic, hence, the origami making was not easy at all for Gildersleeve, according to Car and Driver on MSN.
