Two Lexus cars have been fixed together to form one of the oddest looking vehicles you'll see and it's been spotted in New York

These two bizarre Lexus cars have been spotted getting dropped off in New York in big vans, and they’re certainly not the kind of thing you’d expect to see rolling into the city.

The luxury automaker teamed up with Brooklyn-based art collective MSCHF to completely transform two of its electrified vehicles into surreal sculptures.

One has been formed into a giant loop, while the other looks like someone grabbed it and gave it a massive twist.

Now the automotive art is heading somewhere special.

Lexus transformed into a Circle Car

The first creation is called Circle Car, and it started life as a Lexus RZ 450e.

Instead of leaving the electric SUV in anything resembling its original shape, MSCHF transformed it into a continuous loop, with the front and rear of the car effectively meeting to create a bizarre circular form.

It looks a little like the car has had a panoramic photo taken of it and the result has glitched.

Lexus said the sculpture was inspired by the idea of movement and the way vehicles can be represented in 3D animation, where objects can be stretched, squashed, and distorted in ways that would be impossible in the real world.

And that’s basically what MSCHF has brought into the physical world here.

The collective calls these creations ‘Form Cars’ rather than concept cars, because they’re not intended to demonstrate some futuristic piece of automotive technology.

They’re sculptures designed to make you look at a familiar object in a completely different way.

The second Lexus looks like it has been twisted like a towel

If Circle Car wasn’t strange enough, the second creation takes things in a completely different direction.

Called Twisted Car, it began life as a Lexus RX 450h+ before being dramatically twisted.

The result looks as though someone grabbed the SUV at both ends and wrung it out like a towel.

The bodywork spirals through the middle, while enough of the original Lexus remains for you to recognize that it’s still, in fact, a car.

MSCHF used conventional automotive bodywork techniques to create the sculptures, building steel armatures and adding thousands of individual pieces before finishing them with paint and body filler.

And that’s important because, despite looking like they might have escaped from some particularly strange future car show, these aren’t road-going vehicles.

They’re essentially giant pieces of automotive artwork – which also explains why they needed to be transported around in big vans rather than simply driven to their destination.

They’re now on display in New York

The bizarre creations are part of an exhibition called MOTOMORPHOSIS, which Lexus commissioned MSCHF to create for New York’s Armory Week.

The exhibition puts each sculpture alongside the original production vehicle that inspired it, making the transformations even more dramatic.

MOTOMORPHOSIS opens at Chelsea Industrial at 545 W. 28th St. on September 24, with the public able to visit on September 25 and 26.

So while you probably won’t be seeing Circle Car or Twisted Car pulling up at a New York traffic light anytime soon, they certainly make for some of the strangest Lexus vehicles we’ve seen.

And after seeing them being carefully unloaded from huge vans, it’s probably safe to say these are two Lexus models that won’t be making the school run anytime soon.
