Range Rover celebrated 45 years of innovative engineering in a very awe-inspiring way just ahead of the Guangzhou Motor Show in China.
The luxury SUV maker debuted in 1970, and has since been a pioneer for safety on the road. In 1989, it was the first 4×4 to get anti-lock brakes, and three years later it introduced electronically controlled air suspension and the Electronic Traction Control. Now, Range Rover is in its 4th generation, and it's more lightweight than ever.
To celebrate the anniversary, Range Rover created a unique installation in Suzhou, China.
With the help of British artist Steve Messam and British paper manufacturer James Cropper PLC, engineers spent three days building a 5-meter long, 3.4-meter high paper bridge.
The bridge was constructed using only paper, without any screws or glue — nothing to hold the paper together.
Watch Chris Zhou, Land Rover Experience chief instructor, drive over the free-standing structure and sit at the very top in one jaw-dropping moment.
This feat of engineering is a world-first – while people have been able to cross bridges made of paper, cars have not — until now.
This experiment definitely has us on the edge of our seats. What a thrill it must have been to create this amazing moment in history!
