Chris Burden is one of the most well known artists of all time and has a reputation for taking his art to the extreme. His latest project, the Metropolis II kinetic sculpture, is no exception. It took Chris a total of 4 years to muster up and complete this project and it certainly shows.

This popular YouTube video will almost leave you speechless, it’s just that amazing. It’s a sneak peak documentary video of Chris Burden’s Metropolis II creation before it gets moved to the Los Angeles Country Museum of Art (LACMA) in the fall of 2011. The video is directed by Ariel and Joost Schulman who had the fortunate honor of spending 3 days at Chris’s studio to see the sculpture up close and personal. I’m sure it’s an experience they won’t soon forget.

The staff at Auto Express get behind the wheel of the stylish Peugeot RCZ sports coupe in this review video. Overall it’s quite an impressive vehicle. It comes equipped with ESP stability control which can be turned on or off instantly by the driver.

The Peugeot RCZ is bundled with a 1.6L turbo engine and can reach speeds of up to 133MPH. There are two models available, the standard 156HP and 200HP upgraded model. The standard model reaches 0-60 in 8.3 seconds.

There are a couple of setbacks such as a rather large steering wheel and seating in the back is a bit tight. Fortunately the option for a smaller steering wheel is also available.

Some people are comparing this sports car to a more affordable Audi TT type vehicle. You be the judge, check out the video below.
