Lexus: Card Structure

Shhhh, and stay very still. There's a no-noise and movement policy on this construction site



2009 Lexus ES "Cards" Behind the Scenes



To show how the vibration-reducing features of the ES create one of the smoothest vehicles anywhere, we wanted to put the ES in the most fragile and unstable environment imaginable. So going a few steps beyond the proverbial house of cards, we set out to build an entire city around and on top of the vehicle.

If you want to create an enormous house of cards, theres only one guy to turn to—Bryan Berg. A self-taught artist, Bryan has been stacking cards since he was eight years old. He set his first Guinness World record when he was 17, with a tower measuring 14 feet, six inches tall. He has since set six more world records; his current record-holding structure towered over 25 feet.

Just for the record my present car probably wouldn't hold a card on the bonnet even if it was laying flat.
