On February 17, the BMW Group officially unveiled the "THE 8 X JEFF KOONS Limited Collector's Edition" model, which it has designed in collaboration with the famous pop artist Jeff Koons. The model is based on the new BMW 8 Series four-door coupe and is limited to 99 units worldwide.
In terms of exterior design, the THE 8 X JEFF KOONS Limited Edition model has a striking color combination and its expressiveness. The body blends 11 different exterior colors from blue to silver and from yellow to black, showing a gorgeous and exaggerated pop art atmosphere. The multi-layer painting on each car requires 285 hours of painstaking polishing, and engineers at the BMW Group's Dingefen and Landshut plants often have to use magnifying glasses for coloring, which means that only two new cars can be produced per week.
The overall design of the vehicle is dynamic and powerful, incorporating elements of pop art and undermining the shape of the BMW 8 Series coupe in geometric shape. The exploding lines at the rear of the car pay homage to the artist in the 2010 BMW Art Car. "POP!" on the body Elements and design elements of steam thrust symbolize the speed and power of the BMW 8 Series.
In the interior section, a collection-specific logo and an artist-engraved signature cup holder have been added, and the seats are composed of striking red and blue elements, which are not only the colors of the superheroes in the anime, but also the colors of the high-performance brand BMW M.
"Every THE 8 X JEFF KOONS limited edition model embodies the efforts of dozens of engineers and designers, allowing the artist's ideas to be fully embodied in the finished product," Says Chiptzer. At the same time, each "THE 8 X JEFF KOONS Limited Edition" model has a certificate signed by artist Jeff Koons and CHAIRMAN of the BMW Group, Mr. Chiptzer, which includes the vehicle identification number of each car to highlight the sense of honor and scarcity of this artwork.
