Ovrsise car sculputre Full article

One contribution from Audi to this project is the sponsorship of an oversized car sculpture, which will be part of the ‘Walk of Ideas’. This sculpture will stand at the Brandenburg Gate for four weeks starting in April to represent ‘Germany – Land of the Automobile’.

This should be challenging.

 

Sorry got to it too late...

Too good a clue:
The International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, Austria
I vote Hans Blix in 2008, although that would require not just a slight constitutional adjustment but, sadly, some serious reality bending. Oh well.

Good pick!

OrionII's duplicated one of your earlier ones, Mojo, you should recognize Microsoft headquarters.

OrionII - try another one - I'll stay clear so you can do it.

Reminds me of an old joke:

A guy chartered a helicopter out of Boise to fly to Seattle and when they crossed the ridge into the general Seattle area, bang, they were enveloped in the thick marine layer and the pilot was abruptly "surrounded by lostness". No problem for a helicopter, though; the pilot maneuvered close to a building looming out of the fog and hovered while the passenger wrote "Where Are We?" in large letters on a sheet of paper and held it up against the helo's window. In minutes a large sheet of paper appeared in the building's window. "In A Helicopter," it said. The annoyed passenger got busy scribbling out another message but before he could finish it the pilot told him he knew where they were and was headed to Sea-Tac for landing. "I knew we had to be in Redmond," the pilot explained, "because only Microsoft would provide an answer technically correct but completely lacking any useful information!"
