Aston Martin Le Mans art car unveiled

This weekend’s 2015 Le Mans 24 Hours race will see the #97 Aston Martin Vantage GTE wearing a uniquely striking livery.

Conceived by German artist Tobias Rehberger, it uses repetitive blocks of colour to give an illusion of movement.

Commenting on his creation, Rehberger said: “My design for the Aston Martin art car is rooted in my interest in distorted perception and related phenomena like auto moving patterns, optical effects, camouflage and visual confusion, which I have addressed in many works before.

“In this case, the design is based on a geometric optical effect pattern. Comparable to a fast object, a steady fixation on a point of the pattern is impossible.”

Any other competitors who get too close should expect to be dazzled!
