The work of art was chiselled out of 9.5 tonnes of Canadian ice, and took three sculptors from specialist company The Ice Box 350 hours to do. The model was put on display outside the trendy Saatchi Gallery in London. If the sculpture had been left to melt naturally, it would have taken three or four days, but it was broken up after only 24 hours for safety reasons.

It"s powered by a 6.0-litre, bi-turbo V12, and can accelerate from 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds. But the SL65 AMG, unveiled at the New York Motor Show, is equally as impressive when it comes to overtaking. Thanks to large diameter turbos and a water-cooled air intake, all that torque is available between 2,000 and 4,000rpm.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via in-house tuner AMG"s Speedshift five-speed automatic transmission, with a steering wheel-mounted manual shift option. A limited slip differential also helps maximise traction under hard acceleration.
And to ensure the roadster stops as well as it goes, it has been fitted with high-performance brakes with composite discs. The car will go on sale in the summer, priced around í‚á£100,000.
