Range Rover marks 45 years of engineering innovation with drive across paper bridge [w/ video]

Suzhou, the Chinese city famous for its bridges and nicknamed the ‘Venice of the East’, was the setting for Land Rover’s luxury Range Rover SUV to be driven across a five-metre-long bridge made of paper.

Land Rover commissioned the unique bridge to mark the 45th anniversary of its Range Rover family and to highlight 45 years of Range Rover innovation ahead of the Guangzhou Motor Show in China.The bridge was constructed without glue or bolts.

“Paper structures capable of supporting people have been built before but nothing on this scale has ever been attempted,” said artist and paper bridge designer, Steve Messam. “It’s pushing engineering boundaries.”
