- June 14, 1975, 4 p.m. The French flag was waved by Jean-Marie Balestre, then director of the FFSA, giving the start to the most legendary of endurance races, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Among the 55 cars taking part, the public noticed an astonishing BMW 3.0 CSL, sporting an incredible livery. Behind the wheel was the legendary auctioneer Hervé Poulain, a gentleman driver in his own right, who had commissioned the artist Alexander Calder, known for his revolutionary mobiles set in motion by the air, to paint his car.

- Peter Klasen, born in 1935, is a German artist associated with the New Figuration and Narrative Figuration movements. His work is distinguished by a visual critique of industrial society, using elements drawn from advertising, industrial signage, and medical images to explore themes of alienation and human isolation. Klasen, a graduate of the Berlin University of the Arts, often combines photography, painting, and found objects in complex compositions that question the relationship between technology and humanity.
His work prompts reflection on the impact of modernity on the individual, making him an important voice in contemporary European art. He primarily creates paintings combining representations of industrial objects with details of the female body.~
- Since the late 1990s, Peter Klasen has created a handful of Art Cars, including two Porsche racing cars (a 1998 GT2 and a 1965 911), two Ferraris, and... a Tesla S. This Tesla S was commissioned in 2013 by a French gallery owner who loves Mecanic Art.~
- Peter Klasen agreed to create the first Tesla Art Car for the exhibition of his new paintings, Inside Outside / Mecanic, for the Mecanica Gallery in Los Angeles in partnership with Heritage Classics. This Art Car, made in Peter Klasen's workshop and brought from California, was presented outside the Mecanica Gallery on Rue de Verneuil in Paris before being flown to Los Angeles for exhibition.~
- This unique work was also selected to participate, with great success, in the Dubai Art Show, as well as Chantilly Arts & Elegance. The S 85 is an iconic Tesla model from 2013, a large, luxurious car with a top speed of 225 km/h! This Art Car is sold with a series of special lithographs signed by Peter Klasen, as well as catalogues from his exhibition in Los Angeles.~
