The sculpture, appropriately named Citihenge, is made entirely from recycled car parts and is located on London’s Southbank. It was built using 18 scrap cars and stands at over five metres tall (close to 17 feet). Each henge is five metres wide and the commanding structure weighs a remarkable 36 tonnes.
The structure was erected on site in London in less than 12 hours and according to its creators, it has been engineered to withstand force 12 hurricane winds.
"The Citihenge project has been the most amazing challenge," said Tommy Gun. "Stonehenge is a huge, iconic structure and the Citihenge replica is too. It is made entirely from old car parts, which taps into my own childhood growing up on a farm where I used to love building and creating things with pieces of discarded machinery."
