Ever get the feeling that your car is little more than an oversized toy? Lorenzo Quinn evidently did. The sculptor took the very first car he ever bought - an original <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/fiat">Fiat</a> 500 - and transformed it into the public display of art you see here.<br />
<br />
The installation piece features a four-meter-tall child's hand and forearm, modeled after that of his own son and crafted out of aluminum, grabbing the Fiat like a giant kid playing with a toy car.<br />
<br />
After being displayed in Abu Dhabi and Valencia, Spain, the sculpture has now been installed on Park Lane, a swanky stretch of road in central London characterized by a number of five-star hotels and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/04/lexus-lfa-to-be-sold-in-europe-through-one-dealership/">high-end automobile dealerships</a>. This certainly ought to put things into perspective for the next noble gentleman shopping for a new motor car.
