What you’re seeing here may seem hard to hard to believe, but a 22-year-old U.K. artist has created an “invisible” car. Invisible as long as its parked in front of her studio, that is.

Sara Watson, an art student, carefully spray painted an old, donated Skoda Fabia car to match her the parking lot and entrance to her studio.

According to a report in the Telegraph, Watson created the project as part of her drawing and image making course at the University of Central Lancashire.

“I was experimenting with the whole concept of illusion but needed something a bit more physical to make a real impact.” Watson told the Telegraph.

“People have been stopping in the street to look and coming up and almost bumping into it, so it’s had the desired effect.”

Watson, who Auto Blog observes is “a dead ringer for a healthy, human Lindsay Lohan,” worked three weeks on the project to make sure the car blended into its surroundings, making it appear invisible — at least until driven.
