\"\"<\/a>On Thursday, July 16th<\/sup>, in Bruntal, Czech Republic, a special and unique project was born. People from the small Czech village were left speechless as they watched a BMW \u201cArt Car\u201d materialize before their eyes. There have been any number of famous BMW art cars over the years, but this one was the first of purely Czech origin.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The artist responsible for this new creation is famous Czech motorsport artist Tom Havlasek and it was created especially for BP Autosport team driver Mi Vi. His idea was quite clear as he explains, \u201cNordchleife and BMW. There was no other option but to create an Art Car.\u201d Tom\u2019s response was similar, \u201cI was happy to accept Michal\u2019s offer immediately. Nobody knew how the car was going to look except me, so it was a surprise for everyone, also for Mi Vi. My goal was to express Michal with my traditional, expressionist style,\u201d says Tom, who left his signature on this special M3 E46.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The racecar is being prepared for this year\u2019s VLN series at the Nurburgring. As such, on the left side of the car Tom pays tribute to the legendary \u201cGreen Hell.\u201d On the right side of the car, some may recognize the tongue-in-cheek \u201cHello Titty\u201d logo, which has graced Mi Vi\u2019s helmet for some time and now will match his M3. According to Vi, \u201cThe car has a soul. Liveries express the soul of the freak sitting behind the wheel. Tom is an artist and an amateur racing driver, so who on Earth would be able to understand and express my soul better? We are also good friends and I like his motorsport art.\u201c<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vi and his Art Car can be seen, competing on track, at the Hankook 12 Hours of Brno on October 2\u20133.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
