The Fiat 500 Abarth Cabrio at Joe Machens Fiat is Made of Pure Muscle

You made have seen the above ad released by Fiat USA recently that made you stop and look at it again. While at first glance it may look like simply a picture of a Fiat Abarth Cabrio, on second glance you realize that it actually several human bodies in the shape of  the Fiat 500 Abarth Cabrio. When you find out that this wasn’t photoshopped but that it actually is a collection of human beings forming a well-know silhouette of the Abarth, you really do a double take.

Photographer RJ Muna and body artist Craig Tracy came together to make this idea a reality in a five-day photo shoot in San Francisco.

Check out the behind the scenes video below and feel free to read more quotes from the artist about their experience here.
