The BMW 745 Le M Sport becomes a work of art, but only to announce a dealership

If you have already seen the BMW 745 Le M Sport, you will know that it is a sports-spirited saloon that seeks to stand out within the BMW 7 Series range. But although we know that drivers of this type of car prefer a touch of sobriety, there is nothing wrong with experimenting a little with the bodywork decoration and turning it into the canvas on which an artist can create a work of art.

So the photographer Gabriel Wickbold, who lives in São Paulo, has been commissioned to give one unit of this variant a unique and special bodywork. The result is quite spectacular, as he has used an image of fireworks that bursts right on the bonnet and spreads across the entire bodywork. The image conveys a sense of speed and movement that heightens the sporty character of the car.

The model bears the artist’s signature on the rear bumper, so it will remain a one-off version that will serve as a draw for a Brazilian dealership that has opened in a shopping centre. The choice of artist was no accident, since according to BMW the spirit of Wickbold’s work has a lot to do with that of the car, uniting art with a sense of speed, innovation and technology.

The relationship between BMW and art goes back a long way, and no few cars from the German brand have passed through the hands of international artists to acquire a different style that turns them into works of art in their own right. On other occasions it has been urban artists who have created the design and painted it. In this case it is a photograph that has been placed on the bodywork, so if anyone falls in love with this car, they will be able to have it at home. Though, at the price of a work of art.

As for the car, it should be remembered that the BMW 745 Le M Sport features a plug-in hybrid powertrain consisting of a 3.0-litre six-cylinder petrol engine, which delivers 282 CV, and an electric motor that adds 113 CV, integrated into the eight-speed gearbox. Together the powertrain produces 388 CV and a maximum torque of 600 Nm. The model’s electric range is 55 kilometres.
