Art Cars are normally the preserve of BMW. But Audi has got in on the act by commissioning superstar British artist Damien Hirst to create a one-off A1.
Hirst took delivery of one of the first cars built by the German firm, and created a new look heavily influenced by the artist’s famous spin painting technique.
The finished car, and accompanying 1.8-metre high painting, were then donated to Sir Elton John’s White Tie and Tiara Ball, where they were auctioned for the musician’s AIDs charity, netting a winning bid of £350,000.
