This car has some pretty impressive bodywork... quite literally.

This incredible optical illusion is the work of body-painting artist Emma Hack, who painted 17 naked men and women and positioned them in the shape of a crashed car.

Ms Hack spent 18 hours creating the car for a road safety campaign by the Motor Accident Commission of South Australia. The sculpture is being used to highlight the risks of low-level speeding.

Ms Hack said: "Technically, it's probably the most difficult job I have ever done. It's quite magical how it's turned out."

Ms Hack also painted the singer Gotye in his video for the number one single 'Somebody That I Used To Know'.
