A Chinese artist has baffled motoring fans by covering a brand new Range Rover in shattered porcelain.

Zhang Lianzhi, of in Tianjin, northern China, spent months collecting pots before smashing them and piecing them together with a model of the Earth on the bonnet of the finished work.

"For me, it means that despite all this power and technology the planet is frail and easily broken," explained Zhang, who spent £100,000 on the project, including the cost of the vehicle.

"If we all drove cars covered in something fragile, we might take better care of our world," he added.
