Giant LEGOŽ Indy car model

The Target Store here in Oshkosh, WI currently has a giant LEGO Indy car on display. I'm not entirely sure what the associated promotion is all about, but they've got the standard "Guess how many bricks" contest going on it (my guess: 750,000). The car itself is pretty impressive. Unfortunately, it's not 100% LEGOŽ, and some bricks were harmed for its creation. (The torsion bars are stuck through holes that were drilled.) Anyway, a few points that I noticed:

The car is divided into seven (7) separate sections (nose to front of wheels, front wheel section, rear of front wheels to near the front of the windshield, windshield to back of the seat, back of the seat to gray thing sticking up, gray thing to the end of the Fujifilm logo, and the tail end)
Non LEGOŽ parts: torsion bars (connecting wheels to chassis) are metal, tires are real Firestones
Most of the logos are made from bricks, a few are decals.
