The very first "Art Car", a CSL painted by Alexander Calder in 1975. This artistic creation was one the last he completed prior to his death. However, he did live to see his 480HP painting compete in the Le Mans 24 Hours race. Unfortunately, the car retired after 7 hours with a damaged drive shaft. It was never raced again.
