Is that style or what?

The billboard is 15m tall, give or take, judging by the pictue. The article says 1.5acres surface area, which is around 6000m^2 so it's about 400m long.

That's incredible.
I wish there were better pictures.

be better if the were controllable scalextric

That's unbelievable! Anyone from Russia who's seen this in real life?

That is perfect for my room

I want that white M3, but noo they have to go and hang it on a freakin wall!

Well, that's Moscow centre.

Looks like it's on the big fence near the river:

The st. Basil's cathedral is to left-top, the biggest Spassk tower is just opposite of it. I don't know what is there, in the fence boundaries, never been to.

I think they may have even put real cars, they must cost like snacks, compared to the rental payments. There a 10-storey building, with 10,000 m^2 total area can cost 1 billion bucks. Costs are astronomic there. I guess, someone who's got propery that close to Kremlin can afford a space touristic flight ("just" for $28 mln, IIRC )

p.s. I can't go and check it, I live in 3000 km from Moscow.

"Широка страна моя родная" I guess...
pity though, I really wanted to see that in high quality

That is sweet, we don't see those kinds of billboards over here.

I doubt it's more than a plastic shell with tyres on them... I think if they were real, their suspension would be less loaded thus they'd sit higher above the board... In addition: has anybody seen a photo where you can see the inside? This photo is the closest, yet you can't even see the dashboard... To me, it looks plastick-y as well...

Very nice!

But what the hell is going on with the bonnet of the White M3?

They are plastic shells - I can't get to English Russia atm, but in a Russian subway station theres a BMW mounted to the roof, and you can see close-up pics of it - I think it's a white M5, but it's just a plastic shell.

They are fine detailed replicas. Otherwise they would be too heavy to be mounted on there.

That's brilliant.

Skoda (I think it was skoda, may have been someone else) had a running advert of hanging cars upside down on the transporter.

EDIT- I was wrong. It was Subaru. Subaglue campaign.
