When I announced that you can expect more classy optical illusions in the future, this is just what I had in mind. Before we start, I’d like to thank Xaver Nitsch for creating this original optical illusion just for us! Now, I’m perfectly aware we already had dozen of relative sizes illusions. We even had a very similar one including Range Rovers. BTW, this is where Xaver probably got his inspiration in the first place… But wait! This one is different. I won’t explain it though, I’m just gonna ask you a simple question – Which one of these three Audi’s (R8) do you think is the largest? Don’t rush, take your time. I have included an expandable solution just below the original image. When you think you know what is going on here, you may expand the box containing the answer. Be aware that the answer image is actually an animation. Wait for a few seconds before it starts. What do you think of this illusion now? Was this what you expected?

You know, that’s actually pretty cool. I was expecting them all to be the same size, as per usual.
Cool :)
er…ok i dont lik this one .sorry :)
WOW!!!! i luff this one so awsome
Wow! I thought the furthest one away was going to be the biggest and that the closest one was the smallest.
BORING
even after seeing the solution my mind just cant accept it, lol
i even measured them w my fingers and thought they were the same size! :) very cool
Middle one bigger right?
Good job. And do they cost the same?
WOW. i thought theyd be the same size, but this is a cool illusion…
never expected that…
Same here, paperclippe!
That was awesome!
I guess we expected them to be the same because we thought they were trying to trick us by thinking the opposite of what actually was real. If you get what i mean.
Excellent , I too thought they were all going to be the same size too . Great site .
dont get why you wouldnt like it theres nothing to not like:) yeah this is coolyou’d never guess its the one at the front
dont get it.. can anyone explain it for me…?
As soon as you said its different i was like ooo, then you asked the question and i knew before looking again what the answer was ;) pretty cool indeed that! whats funny is a few years back when i saw similar illusions i was actually thinking that this type of thing could be done (with size difference illusions) that you could ACTUALLY make the one that appears to BE the smallest, in fact much bigger, rather than the same size =)
sweet! There’s still sand or dirt or whatever in the window of the front car though…..
genius…..
The second one is clearly larger than the third one. I think there is too large a discrepancy between the sizes. But the second one also looks larger than the first one, so the illusion definitely works in that regard.
Very cool. Thought they were all the same size.
Sweet animation/reveal.
i xpected them to b same size, too. that’s pretty cool
wow I thought they’d be the same size and my mom did too…but the front one is bigger…no matter how you look at it I didn’t expect that…finally an ilussion that stumped me…
Wicked! And really deceiving. It had me totally fooled. :-) MOI reloaded is also neat.
sickkkkkk
That is amazing. It took a lot to convince myself that they were all equal – I as blown away when I saw the real sizes. Even printed a copy out and cut the cars up to prove it!
Great one.
This is one of the best size illusions, it really does fool you, makes you go back and take a closer look..
Thanks for putting it on
was not expecting that!?!?!?
haha i was expecting it to be number 2
but it wasnt
interesting
not like the other ones we’re they are ALL the same size
Wow, that’s a great illusion, as I was expecting them to be the same size from all of the other size illusions on this website. Awesome!
Cool. I get frustrated everytime my eyes fool me hahaha. Love the animated solution.
on the solution they look like sideways apples
You got me. I was wrong.
Man, that one was awesome! Never thought that THAT ONE would be the largest car…
Well, anyways, that was awesome!
Cheers!
Nice, I already thought it was the front one, when you said ‘take your time’, but for it too actually be the front one… wow, very nice
Amazing… After checking (just measure it with the width of a finger) the right one is actually the largest.
wow!
i was expecting them to be the same size too!
even after the animation, i measured them to be sure about their sizes!
excellent! :)
Now THAT answer what not what I was expecting. very nice
me too, i hope for better ones sooon ^^
That.. was.. awesome.
This is great! so its less of an illusion than it looked like!
I really liked this illusion. Made size measurements to verify and was surprised. Also removed background to check its influence and cut and paste to change the order in which the cars appear. The illusion seems to work on how the brain processes perspective cues. It appears that the brain expects an object of the same actual size to much smaller when it is further away. Shrink the further object less than than the brain expects and it actually appears larger. Reverse image order (further closer) and the effect is obvious. Note the distortion of the image background to enhance the brain’s perspective expectations.
Sweet. I thought the middle one was largest. Plus I like the cars! :D I would like more 3D illusions, though.
i guess that the first one (appearing smallest) would be larger once you said that it was different
Nice. I really like it. Like paperclippe, I was expecting them to be all the same size.
cool but i thought it would have been all the same size :$
it alright
its k
but lamborghini kicks ass
i thought the three would be the same size, great illusion
lol, at first i thought they were all the same size, but now i just can’t
can’t believe it!
