If you have the spending power, or the job, to make it possible to pull into your driveway in a brand new, spotlessly clean and technically perfect sports car, look at your awed neighbor and say “I know! I don’t believe it either!” then you will know what certain cars’ owners mean when they talk about their drive being a “work of art”. But in all seriousness, can you describe an actual car as car art? Surely the point of car art is to depict a car, not be one? Well, in the case of the Bugatti Veyron, there are many who would disagree with that reasoning.

The Veyron is – in many people’s estimation – one of the most incredible cars that has ever been built if not THE most incredible. A vehicle which develops over 1000 bhp and only gets just over eleven miles to the gallon has no right to look pretty. But somehow, the Veyron does, and more and more people are coming around to the idea that it is as much a piece of performance art is it is a serious car. You couldn’t possibly drive it to work – in fact, why you would keep going to work if you could afford to buy and run a Veyron is a question worth asking. Car artists are taking notice now, and it isn’t hard to see why. But how do they hope to add anything to what is already breathtaking.
