Using AI to make art is surprisingly interesting.
In 1975, French race car driver Herve Poulain invited friend and artist Alexander Calder to paint the first BMW Art Car. It was a 3.0 CSL that Poulain would race in that year s 24 Hour of Le Mans. The team didn t finish, but it was the first in a long line that included famous artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Stella and others. But for this year s Frieze New York art fair, the company is doing something different.
Today BMW debuted The Ultimate AI Masterpiece, an 8-Series Gran Coupe that was painted by artificial intelligence as a visual art installation at the show, which also coincides with the 50th anniversary of BMW Group Cultural Engagement.

Now, if you also happen to live in Japan, you can grab one of these new Collector’s Edition spec 8-Series Gran Coupes. They’re scheduled to go on sale in June of this year for 15,110,000 yen, which is the equivalent of $138,200 roughly. That’s a lot of money, sure, but if this special edition car is also a limited edition (BMW didn’t say), then somebody with deep enough pockets could easily talk themselves into ordering one.
Let’s look at what you get in return for your hard-earned yen. The 8-Series Gran Coupe Collector’s Edition is based on the 840i M Sport model, which means you’ll enjoy a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-pot with 335 hp (340 PS) and 368 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque. In a straight line, it can accelerate from zero to 60 mph (96 kph) in 4.9 seconds with the help of an eight-speed Steptronic gearbox.
