BMW – 320i Turbo – Roy Lichtenstein (1977)

In 1977, the third BMW Art Car appeared, again designed by an American. Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein utilized the “Ben Day dots” characteristic of his art, with the effect that a landscape seems to move past on the flanks of the BMW 320i Turbo. And, of course, that was the way it had to be: this race car did not immediately become an exhibit, but first proved itself in tough everyday motorsport, and where else but at Le Mans? Drivers Hervé Poulain and Marcel Mignot took this car, with starting number 50, to 9th place in the overall standings, and first in its class.
