Avus 1954: Dennis Hoyt's magical masterpiece

Article Abstract:

Artist Dennis Hoyt has captured the image of the 1954 Mercedes-Benz W-196 speeding along a brick-laid track in a mahogany, aluminum and steel miniature model. This work of art, inspired from an actual race which took place in Berlin in 1954, is a brilliant defiance of physics and logic.
