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.

The car was unveiled in Paris at the Pompidou Center and then raced at Le Mans the next week which was unfortunately forced to retire early.  Lines of colour stream over the bodywork of the BMW M3 GT2 and graphics of debris have been applied to the rear sides and back.  The design was applied by digitally printing onto car-wrapping vinyl and Jeff had to work with the engineers at BMW so the sticker did not mess up any of the car’s aerodynamics.  It is a great looking car and pays homage to its past.

Jeff Koons at the unveiling said, “This car is about this type of life energy, this desire to achieve and this desire to win.” “This life energy is up against everything and it keeps pushing through with this desire to create.”
