To celebrate the 100th birthday of legendary artist Roy Lichtenstein (1923 – 1997), BMW M Motorsport has teamed up with Puma to present an exclusive collection that pays homage to the 320i Turbo BMW Art Car that Lichtenstein painted in 1977. Lichtenstein’s design, featuring the “Ben Day dots” that became a personal hallmark, depicts a landscape appearing to move over the body work of the 320i Turbo.
Inspired by the sports car’s unique makeover, the “Ben Day dots” can be found on all the items in the BMW Art Car Capsule Collection in tandem with a vibrant color palette. Each garment in the strictly limited-run special edition range has been carefully crafted and takes design cues from the Lichtenstein 320i Turbo.
The BMW M Motorsport RL Bomber Jacket catches the eye with an all-over print inspired by Roy Lichtenstein, BMW M Motorsport branding, and an embroidered Puma logo on the chest. A ribbed collar, side pockets, and color-coordinated press studs combine with the jacket’s casual fit to create a sporting appearance.
The BMW M Motorsport RL Sweatpants echo the relaxed cut of the jacket and complement its sporty look with closed cuffs and Roy Lichtenstein appliqués on both sides of the legs. The sweatpants, made from 70 percent cotton and 30 percent recycled cotton, come in a green tone and have a woven BMW M Motorsport logo on the back. Handy side pockets enhance their everyday practicality.
With a large BMW Art Car print on the back and discreet details like the Puma cat logo on the chest and a BMW M Motorsport flag label on the side seam, the BMW M Motorsport RL T-Shirt makes a powerful visual statement. Produced from 70 percent cotton and 30 percent recycled cotton, this white T-shirt is extremely comfortable to wear.
Also finished in timeless white, the BMW M Motorsport RL Cap puts smiles on faces with its striking, Roy Lichtenstein-inspired front print. The five-panel baseball cap is also adorned by a woven BMW M Motorsport logo on the side and an embroidered Puma cat logo on the back. An adjustable, premium-quality metal clasp ensures a secure fit on any head.
The BMW M Motorsport RL Sneaker rounds off the collection. Based on the Puma Suede, a true icon of the sneaker world that has set hearts beating a little faster for 50 years now, this shoe impresses with intricately embroidered graphics on the inner side, woven Puma Formstrips on both sides and graphic detailing on the inside of the tongue. The Puma logo badge on the front is complemented by a BMW metal pin on the heel–a detail that highlights the exclusivity of the sneaker with just a hint of understatement.
Serving as a great Christmas gift option to car enthusiasts for Christmas, the BMW Art Car Collection by Roy Lichtenstein from BMW M Motorsport and Puma will be available from now on via the BMW Online Shop, at selected Puma stores and PUMA.com.
