About BMW Art Cars
The idea of the BMW Art Car was born in 1975, when art auctioneer and racing driver Hervé Poulain entered the 24-hour Le Mans race for the first time. Seeking a link between the worlds of art and racing, Poulain asked his friend, artist Alexander Calder, to paint his 480-hp BMW 3.0 CSL. The result was so remarkable, BMW decided to continue this collaboration. Today there are 16 BMW Art Cars by prominent artists, from 10 countries spanning five continents.
