'As temperatures soared in London on Tuesday, one car kept its cool at the British International Motor Show - Ford's 6.5 tonne ice sculpture of its new Focus Coupe-Cabriolet.
The full size model took a team of sculptors working in a giant freezer two weeks to complete. Each shift was limited to just 40 minutes at a time because of the extreme cold - set at a numbing minus 10 degrees Celsius.
Specialist carving tools imported from Japan and the United States were used, including an advanced computer driven cutting machine.
Although the ice Ford weighs more than five real Focus models, it won't last for nearly as long' Reuters, Jul 18, 2006
