Jeff Koons BMW M3 GT2 Art Car.
Number 17 in the series. American artist Jeff Koons took challenge of creating one of BMWs infamous Art Cars. After a 35year long stretch of BMW art cars Jeff took it up to himself a few years back to go approach BMW about creating this brightly multicolor vinyl scheme on their M3 GT2 race car that will be raced at the 24 hours of Le Mans.
Euro B6 Passat
This came through our Flickr pool the other day and I couldn’t help myself but look into it some more. This is great example of a clean b6 passat and what can be done with the family car. I admit that this isn’t my favorite in the current VW lineup and the Passat CC overshadows the standard four door, but this car may change my mind. Smooth, low, wide splits and an aggressive front end. What more could you ask for? The photos are courtesy of Chris Winsor and were taken at his local GTG.
Dial 911 for VWoA
With Volkswagen of America’s move from Michigan to Herndon, VA, it was only a matter of time before VWoA started inserting themselves into the local community on as many levels as they could. What better way to get local recognition then to team up with the Herndon Police Department. In what will most likely only be a publicity parade, VWoA has donated two 2010 Passats in both Estate and Sedan variants to help keep the residents of Herndon safe … or on their toes.
This is just Raw
Yes, this is BlownEuros. We are usually more inclined to post images of clean, low slung, shiny, european cars. This doesn’t mean, however, that we don’t appreciate some creativity across the board. I think we can all appreciate the turbo diesel sled in the video below.
Black as coal & White as snow… but hot as HELL.
1 out of 10 white Lamborghini Superleggeras out in the spring still dirty from the winter.
Full feature coming soon.
Raising the Bar
Ever since the boom of the import “tuner” scene it seems as if anyone can run to the store, or pull up a chair at their computer, and within days out pops a custom car. What the end result looks like is usually questionable, but it is still custom nonetheless. Unless, of course, you begin to comparing the custom car world as a whole and realize that you begin to see the same trends over and over again. This is not to say that its not a good trend, and I fully admit that my own project would be deemed unoriginal by many, but its not every day that you come across a project that makes you stop … stand back … and utter Holy Shit under your breath. This is exactly what happens when you see what Michael Savko has done with his girlfriends mk4 VW Jettta GLi. (more…)
Keeping up with the Euros
Over the past decade the European enthusiast scene here in the states has definitely taken major strides forward. Some even believe we have taken over at the front lines of the tuning scene stemming from what was once the “Euro Look”. Then a car comes along that sends us all back to the garage to rethink our strategy. This mark 2 TT is one of those cars. Im not sure details even need to be given, these pictures are worth well more then a thousand words. Enjoy.
Flickr Friday: New Shots from the Pool
With the winter weather hopefully starting to break soon, we can all emerge from the comfort of our homes and start putting some time back into the cars we’ve been neglecting for the past few months. Here is some inspiration for everyone, fresh from the BlownEuros Flickr pool.

In the Wild
Recently on a winter vacation with my girlfriend to Florida to try and hopefully catch some warm weather, which did not actually happen because it was bitter down there for the past week or so, we had many exotic car spottings. Two of them you rarely see. A Bugatti Veryon cruising down A1A in Miami Beach…. A Mercedes SLR parked in a Miami parking garage next to a Saturn. What do you see in the wild? If you see any exotic or rare cars “In the Wild” send them to us and we will put them up. Info@BlownEuros.com
When your standard Ferrari Just Isn’t Enough
When you just can’t stand the thought of driving an “everyday” Ferrari, why not have them build you a one-off. That is now an option for the worlds wealthiest and exactly what Edward Walson did. Read on for the full story of his own Ferrari P540 Superfast Aptera. (more…)
The Fastest Yellow & Red
Sometimes you come across something amazing. This is one of those things. Who would have thought a 5 min stop motion film could have so many amazing things in it? cars! guns! explosions! I think the YouTube responses sum it all up…
“I have no idea what the fuck I just saw, but I loved every second of it.”
“Can someone explain to me how to give this video 12 stars? Holy shit that was awesome.”
“wooooooooohooooooooooooo!!”
The Yankee-Stomping War Machine
Mike Burroughs of StanceWorks.com has done it again. After pushing a few boundaries and pissing off a few people along the way with his rusted e28, Mike has set off across the west coast … equipped with a trailer.
