Paris, September 25, 2025.

In 2026, the Retromobile show will celebrate half a century of existence and mark the occasion with an international exhibition. For its 50th anniversary, the most prestigious show dedicated to classic cars will host the BMW Art Car World Tour and, for the first time in France, will present all seven BMW Art Cars that took part in the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans.

When art meets endurance

Born in 1975 from the visionary intuition of Hervé Poulain, auctioneer and passionate racing driver, the BMW Art Cars project changed the perception of competition cars forever. The idea was simple but revolutionary: to entrust the bodywork of a racing car to a world-renowned artist, bringing together two worlds that were seemingly apart, art and motor racing.
