The incredible landmark will be installed of the coast of Miami - and there's a mindblowing $5million reason for its existence.

A total of 22 concrete cars are set to be dropped to the floor of the ocean in October this year.

They will be cast in a layer of concrete to keep them submerged there and hold them in place.
The dramatic new artwork is in fact a climate inervention.

It has been dubbed Concrete Coral - and will attract underwater visitors including humans and fish.

Created by Argentine artist Leandro Erlich, the art piece will resemble a realistic underwater traffic jam. Astonishing images showed the rows of cars lined up as if they were in New York's infamous rush hour.

The concept photos also showed the vehicles covered in a dusty layer of concrete - and the outlines of each motor are clearly visible.

Marine-grade concrete from 3D-printed moulds will be used to cast each full-scale car into existence.
The cars have been deployed there to revive coral in Miami's oceans.

Using Coral Lok, a patented attachment system, live corals will be seeded onto the vehicles to accelerate reef development.

It will be unveiled by The ReefLine, and is part of a massive seven-mile long attraction.

The underwater megaproject will also boast a public sculpture park, snorkel trail and hybrid reef.

Erlich’s installation is primarily sculptural, but will also support biodiversity as part of a bigger project to slow rising seas and shoreline erosion.

The project by Erlich is set to cost a whopping $5million to install.
