Regular readers of this blog probably know that I am a big fan of Tim Burton’s work. Thats why I was exited when I read on Wired that his art-work is now bundled in a 434 page thick book, displaying over 1000 drawings, doodles, paintings and evocative concept art dating back to Burton’s teen years in Burbank, California.Burton himself describes it as “40 years of notebooks, scraps of paper, napkins, etc.” Author and co-editor Leah Gallo writes that Burton’s intention is “to allow his fans a broad look inside his private pages.”

The car has been entirely stripped of excess weight by using ultralight materials. This combined with a hybrid engine, this car has the same performance numbers as an M3, but without the emissions. Pretty impressive!
Check out more details on the performance and design in the movie below.
