Next year's 24 Hours of Le Mans will feature the exhilarating new addition to BMW's legendary Art Car series.
Mehretu, an Ethiopian American artist best known for her work in abstract painting, was the unanimous selection of a panel of international museum directors and curators, BMW announced during a special event at New York’s Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Thegot its start in 1975, when Alexander Calder was commissioned to paint a 3.0 CSL. Since then, some of the biggest names in contemporary art have participated—including Andy Warhol, Jenny Holzer, and Jeff Koons.
The vehicles, or “rolling sculptures” as BMW likes to call them, have always been meant for more than just display, with multiple having competed in official races. This is especially true of Mehretu’s Art Car, which will go to Le Mans with the intention of winning. It sounds like the M Hybrid V8 will have a chance, too, thanks to an electrified power train that generates 640 hp and 479 ft lbs of torque and redlines at 8,200 rpm.

Used TVR Sagaris 4.0 2-Door for saleThis example is as per the photos, simply exemplary. We've not seen any other TVR that's this good. The paint, interior, engine bay, chassis, suspension, wheels, you name it, it is as close to concours as you'll ever see. With 20k miles on the clock and a massive history, you'll struggle to find a better car, as an investment due to its quality, or to drive. We know it doesn't have 5 thousand on the clock, but its all the better for it, if you know TVRs, you know they're better for being used, keeping the oily bits oily, but as you can tell, this one has not been abused! From the moment you grab the keys and unlock the car, you can tell it is a level above the competition, even the key fob (which has normally collapsed on 95% of cars), clicks as though it were brand new, such is the quality of the car, not one area wants for attention. Fire the car up and it bursts into a perfect idle, a roar from the ACT big bore exhaust (the original comes with the car too), engage first with the slick T5 and you're ready for the biggest event you're going to experience! No car will pull more smiles, questions or get more attention at any show either. This thing is just unbeatable, come and see for yourself. If you want the best, it's this one or nothing! With a beautifully detailed file full of TVR service history, with its original order form in situ still. It was spec'd with the short ratio gearbox and has had the diff rebuilt to 3.91 ratio too! Every invoice filed in date order, with the last service in 2022, with the throttle body mod done, along with fresh factory suspension all round, amongst a whole host of other upgrades, taking the aesthetic of this car to a point where an ACT carbon airbox is about all we can imagine you could possibly upgrade. The tyres are all TVR branded all round and have good life left in them, the brakes are fresh and not a single area of the car looks or feels like it needs anything at all. Mechanically as good as it looks. The chassis is also as
