THE 8 X JEFF KOONS is the embodiment of precision, refinement and craftmenship, with a multi-layer paint taking 285 hours to apply onto each car. The expressive and striking design combines eleven different exterior colors ranging from blue to silver as well as from yellow to black. Only two cars will be produced each week. The multi-colored interior is comprised of high-end materials, fine leather and a cupholder lid with an edition badging and the artist’s engraved signature. The seats are made of the striking red and blue colors of the company’s high-performance unit BMW M. The design includes both elments of pop art as well as geometric patterns paying homage to the 8 Series Gran Coupe’s intricate contours and shape.
