has had nearly 1.5 million hits on its Youtube video of the its 2008 Formula 1 car being cut in half since it was released on May 30. To celebrate the video's popularity, the team has released several new images showing the sliced car in more detail. 

Sauber says that it took the team three years of working in their free time to cut all of the car's components in half. Former team boss Sergio Bonagura first hatched the plan. 

The car that Sauber cut in half was the 2008 F1.08. During that season Sauber took its only Formula 1 win at the Canadian Grand Prix by Robert Kubica. The car was on the podium 11 times that season, one pole and two fastest race laps.
