Brazilian RS4 "art car"

Bartek Sikorski · 05-07-2007, 09:31 PM

The term "art car" is closely associated with BMW, which has a history of letting famous artists use its vehicles as rolling mechanical canvases. And the cars are memorable, too -- the Andy Warhol M1 leaps to mind. Well, late last month, Audi decided to throw its hat in the ring as well by commissioning Brazilian Pop artist Romero Britto to turn an RS4 into an art car for the brand with the interlocking rings.

Britto responded with what you see above. A colorful painting of a woman adorns the hood of the muscle sedan and extends through the rest of its bodywork. It made its debut at the Art Chicago fair in the Windy City at the end of April, and will tour other locations in North America before ending its run in Miami Beach, where it will be auctioned for charity.

I know this is for advertising, but it attracts very little people in my country. What about similar events at where you guys live?

When I read the title, I was thinking they have ruined an RS4!!

But this looks pretty good!

I don't like it. "stock" is beautiful, but this isn't. I don't know, as a painting this thing could look good, but on a car...

PS. They are really immitating BMW with this!
