Over the years, we have seen a number of art cars introduced, and while some were aesthetically better than others, all these artist-rendered vehicles all have one thing in common: they are always magnets for attention.
One artist that seems to be having a growing fascination with turning supercars into his own personal canvas is Laurence Gartel. As one of the pioneers of digital media, having plied his craft since the 70?s, Gartel has probably seen and did just about everything you can with digital media, including teach Andy Warhol the nuances of the art.
What he hasn?t done is take a Ferrari F430 Scuderia and turned it into a 510-horsepower psychedelic vinyl supercar. And he did all of the designing on a computer. Who said this guy can?t keep up with today?s technology.
According to the artist?s representatives, this particular F430 Scuderia?s value has jumped all the way to a cool $1 million because of Gartel?s work.
Cool digs, but for a million dollars? Yikes.
Press Release after the jump.
