The first BMW Art Car will headline the event&#8217;s BMW &#8220;Batmobile&#8221; class.<\/p>\n<p>BMW&#8217;s &#8220;Art Cars&#8221; debuted to the public at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs at the Louvre in May 1975. It was a creative alliance of racer and art auctioneer Herve Poulain and American sculptor Alexander Calder mixed with the foresight of BMW Motorsport chief Jochen Neerpasch.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Calder started with a scale model of the CSL &#8220;Batmobile&#8221;, cloaking it in broad swaths of red, blue and yellow while ignoring the car\u2019s structure and shape.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Calder&#8217;s genius was to use primary colors,\u201d said Sam Posey, the American artist and racer who drove Calder&#8217;s Art Car &#8220;Batmobile&#8221; at Le Mans in 1975.<\/p>\n<p>In Munich, BMW\u2019s international headquarters, the Calder Le Mans 3.0 CSL \u201cBatmobile\u201d was painted accurately to the smallest detail, including Calder\u2019s signature on the left rear fender. BMW motorsport produced not only a 3.0 CSL \u201cBatmobile\u201d as the artist\u2019s canvas, but one with an entry in the 1975 24 Hours of Le Mans. It was a stroke of marketing genius as potent as BMW\u2019s freshly minted \u201cUltimate Driving Machine\u201d marketing campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNeerpasch had the Calder Art Car insured for $1 million as a work of art,\u201d continued Posey. \u201cIt was brilliant. The whole art world picked up on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Poulain got to live his fantasy at the 1975 Le Mans, sharing driving duties with American BMW factory racer and 2013 Amelia Honoree Sam Posey and Ferrari\u2019s 1964 Le Mans winner Jean Guichet. The Calder BMW \u201cBatmobile\u201d was a standout in qualifying. Posey proved BMW\u2019s \u201cUltimate Driving Machine\u201d claim was no frothy ad slogan, qualifying first in class and 11th overall in a 55-car field. In the race he led the GT class while Calder watched. A broken drive line component ended the first Art Car\u2019s noble run during Le Mans\u2019 ninth hour.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the final 15 minutes of qualifying Thursday night, just before midnight, I got a perfect lap,\u201d said Posey. \u201cI got the esses and Tetre Rouge just right. The BMW was really fast, but I caught a draft from a prototype going all the way down Mulsanne. That was probably the best lap of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_601372\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-601372\" style=\"width: 783px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Calders-BMW-3.0-CSL-Batmobile-GT-racer-2-lr.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-601372 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Calders-BMW-3.0-CSL-Batmobile-GT-racer-2-lr.jpg\" alt=\"Alexander Calder\u2019s BMW 3.0 CSL \" width=\"783\" height=\"584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Calders-BMW-3.0-CSL-Batmobile-GT-racer-2-lr.jpg 783w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Calders-BMW-3.0-CSL-Batmobile-GT-racer-2-lr-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Calders-BMW-3.0-CSL-Batmobile-GT-racer-2-lr-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Calders-BMW-3.0-CSL-Batmobile-GT-racer-2-lr-770x574.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Calders-BMW-3.0-CSL-Batmobile-GT-racer-2-lr-293x219.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 783px) 100vw, 783px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-601372\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">vNote Calder\u2019s signature on the rear fender of the BMW 3.0 CSL &#8220;Batmobile&#8221; GT race car<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Despite the retirement, a motorsport tradition had been born. The fans adored Poulain\u2019s Art Car concept, Calder\u2019s vivid work and the BMW\u2019s fast \u201cBatmobiles\u201d. BMW Art Cars from Americans Frank Stella, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol followed Calder\u2019s seminal creation. It was one of Calder\u2019s final major works. He died in 1976.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBMW gave me a chance to drive with Brian Redman at Mosport or do Le Mans that weekend,\u201d said Posey. \u201cWe had an extraordinary race. Calder flew in about an hour before the start. His studio was about 60 miles south of Le Mans. I think he was aiming for something playful. But imagine that; he ended up with a serious artist at the wheel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 2014 Amelia Island Concours d&#8217;Elegance will be held March 7-9th on the 10th and 18th fairways of The Golf Club of Amelia Island at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island.
