...giant spaceship hovers over a world capital, just as in The Day the Earth Stood Still. Only this time it's Johannesburg, not Washington. And the beings that emerge aren't elegant, superior dudes like Michael Rennie and Keanu Reeves; they're large, icky insect types, with wriggling worms where their noses might be.

While it seems as though this world just couldn’t get any wackier...

Designed by Viennese architecture firm Delugan Meissl, the spaceship-like structure rests on only three pillars, making it appear as if the building is floating. At the museum's heart is a 60,280-sq.-ft. (5,600 sq m) exhibition hall housing around 80 cars - some of them are still used for racing - along with numerous smaller exhibits on all things Porsche...
