Wonder World | Driving on Wheels Made out of ICE @WonderWorldYTC | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Driving on ICE is usually avoided at all costs, but Lexus took the concept and turned it around, what if the tyres were ICE, rather than the road surface?
Taking three months from start to finish, the ICE Wheels were a collaboration between Lexus UK and the ice-sculpting experts at Hamilton Ice Sculptors.
The challenge was two-fold: how to recreate the Lexus five-twin-spoke alloy wheel and its Yokohama winter tyre with incredible precision, while also making a wheel and tyre that would support the NX's 2.2-tonne mass.
The aim was to create, not only an amazing piece of art, but push the boundaries of engineering to do something that had never been attempted before.
Thanks for watching
