Blue Full Sized Play Doh Car
But it's not going anywhere fast.
Using 1.5 tons of the children's Play-Doh putty from 10,000 pots costing around £6,000 in total, the hand-crafted sculpture was created by a team of eight model makers over a two week period.
It was created to mark the UK launch of the new Chevrolet Orlando family-friendly seven-seater car - which is on sale from £16,395.
At those prices, you could have nearly three Play-Doh version for the cost of the real thing.
The vehicle, in a bright blue shade of aquamarine was pictured parked up in the bohemian Clerkenwell district of London where startled commuters and traffic wardens looked on.
A spokeswoman for the project said:'We've pretty much exhausted the UK supplies of aquamarine Play-Doh.'
The car firm said it chose to model its vehicle in Play-Doh as the modelling putty topped a poll of the most-loved toy from yesteryear.
More than 1,000 UK adults voted for their favourite nostalgic toy from their childhood with Play-Doh gaining a fifth (19 per cent) of the vote closely followed by LEGO (17 per cent) and Kinder Egg (15 per cent).
Les Turton from Chevrolet UK, sister company to Vauxhall, said:'The new Orlando deserves another look and we believe this mould-breaking multi-purpose vehicle is a real head-turner - especially when it's made from ton of the nation's most popular aqua-marine putty.
'Hopefully our launch will appeal to the inner-child in every parent and it will become a firm family favourite."
