Crazy Car Optical Illusion

39 comments

Jim Gansle from Canyon Lake, Texas sent me this photo of a vintage car (along with few more visitors that submit illusions regularly). Seems that the photo really went viral, since lately I stumble upon it very often across the web. Enough on the background of this flick, now let me describe the effect. Once you see this photo, you'll probably need some time before you spot something very strange in it. I was wondering what is so interesting about this car, but after it hit me (no, not the car, luckily the car didn't hit me), it all became clear. This is what Jim wrote: "In case you haven't seen this before. I really enjoy your site - got the widget to tell me when a new one is available. What a fun you would have at intersections. You figure it out. I got a headache". This will be added to our Transportation category, the one I speak so rarely about.

    Hey, for the past several days I haven't been getting the illusion. I can see the description and the comments, but the actual illusion isn't showing up. Is there any way you can fix this?

    He's right. I get a headache too when I look at it long enough!

    It's clearly photoshopped but at first glance you can't tell, but if you look at it, the middle tire, you can see the fender is pointing towards us and it looks like there is a different fender connected to it. photoshopped

    Good Effect. Wonder if it drives.

    At first I saw nothing wrong, but then I saw the wheels :P

    It didn't take me no time at all to figure this out though, I'm used to headaches ;]
    You are actually looking at the side of the car, notice that the back wheels are the same orientation as the front.
    What baffles me is how the driver steers... or if they get a sore neck :P

    its really not that hard it looks confussing at friest but the car is normal its just the fornt to tires are just set sidways and the front was made wider

    not a very good explination but you get what i mean

  19. Blogger Kostiman

    I don't understand the point in that half wheel, on the middle of the car. It doesn't seem to make sense with anything else.

  25. Anonymous Anonymous 

    Hey! Where did you get a picture of my car?! What's going on?

  26. Anonymous Anonymous

  27. Anonymous Anonymous

  28. Anonymous Me 

    That is totally... WEIRD!!!

  29. Anonymous Fernando 

    this so confusing!!

  30. Blogger the örjan 

    Wow. This was really skillful craftsmenship!
    If it works if will be very difficult to drive because it will go sideways!
    Look at the steeringwheel.

    My guess is that it really works, but is illegal to drive.

  31. Anonymous Anonymous 

    lol its cool but weird

    "This will be added to our Transportation category, the one I speak so rarely about."

    Link goes to "transparent" not transportation....

  33. Blogger Brad 

    nice:!) im sure i understand this, but then i read all the comments saying photoshopped rofl like the silly people they are, and then also about headaches and confusion:P yeh its nice and confusing but like one poster said, its just the side of the care ( with windscreen wipers on the side windows :P im sure the seats in side point the right way no?

  34. Anonymous Anonymous 

    It's not real, the tires up front would be face forward, not sideways.

  35. Blogger Alan 

    If you guys would just do some background checking on the validity of the pic, you would find out that it is indeed a REAL car built sideways. just because something looks funny or different doesnt always mean its photoshopped. SHEESH!

  36. Blogger Victor 

    Is this real?

  37. Anonymous jrlaff 

    Love that one!

    You surely need a special driving licence to drive that!

  38. Anonymous Anonymous 

    you should put a counter for how many knobs try to be smartasses by saying "photoshopped". i count 3 on this one. have some imagination.
