Back in August, Lexus got the world talking about its new hoverboard. Now, the automaker just introduced another interesting mode of transport — a car made out of cardboard.

Lexus just unveiled its origami-inspired cardboard vehicle, which is a replica of the Lexus IS.

According to the Lexus press release, the Lexus Origami Car's main body, interiors, and the wheels are made from 1,700 laser-cut cardboard sheets.

It's actually a working vehicle that can be driven because it is powered by an electric motor.

The cardboard sedan took three months to complete and was put together by designers from LaserCut Works, Scales and Models, and DS Smith, using wood glue.

The IS saloon replica was created to celebrate the "human craftsmanship skills that go into every car Lexus makes," the release stated. In particular, Lexus was referring to the skilled workers, also called "takumi," who stand behind the company's production lines.

The whole design was achieved just by hand, which is why accuracy was vital during the process, considering it's hard to apply changes once the glue has dried.

One can only imagine the challenges designers had faced in order to come up with a perfect outcome.

"There was a lot of repetition in the process and we had to work with military precision, just like the teams that make the real Lexus cars," revealed Ruben Marcos, director of Scales and Models.

Although the car has a fully functional electric motor, one cannot see the cardboard model freely running on the streets.

Nevertheless, it's still drivable — as long as rainy days are not in sight.

The car will be put on as part of an exhibit at the Grand Designs Live at the National Exhibition Center in Birmingham from Thursday, Oct. 8.

Currently, there are no talks or plans of its production, BBC noted.
