In 2010, to celebrate the 35th edition of the Art Car series, which featured works of famous artists such as Alexander Calder, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Stella, Robert Rauschenberg et Jenny Holzer.

The sketches drawn by Jeff Koons evokes the power, the mouvement and light, transpodes in satured hues (tipically used by the artist). The artist worked closely with the BMW team in Munich, joining his talent to the sophisticated engineering of BMW to create a car, the 17th of the Art Car series, prepared for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
