Ghost Art Car Driving through Town

There was a public art project on Tour in Basel by Austrian artist and designer Manfred Kielnhofer called  “Light Guards”, a project that included a ghost art car driving around town last June.

This Ghost Art Car is a large white van with hooded figures sitting on the roof, driving outside the fair, and the Bleifrei (which translates to Lead Free in German). Manfred Kielnhofer said “Art is like Jesus; it died and it’s coming again.” Thanks Manfred, for submitting to art car central.

No More Traffic Tickets - The World's Slowest Porsche - Ferdinand GT3 R-S

Do you drive fast and are Tired of Red Light Camera Tickets? Austrian artist Ferdinand Johannes has solved this problem by creating the most advanced Porsche ever, called the Ferdinand GT3 R-S, The World's Slowest Porsche. He has come up with a way to avoid all traffic tickets by installing a revolutionary new power source under the hood called the "bike" with a whopping 1MP (Man Power). Not only will it NOT go 0-60mph in 10 seconds, but probably wont go past 10mph, EVER.

Let me tell you what it DOESN'T have:
  • No turbocharge,
  • No 450hp
  • No 3.8 flat-six engine
  • No Disk Brakes
  • No Manual gearbox
  • No Sound System
  • No Club sport package
  • No Leather Seats
  • No Airbags
  • No Roll cage
  • No 6-point drivers racing harness
Rest assured that there will be no more traffic tickets once you unleash the pure bike power of the Ferdinand Porsche GT3 R-S.

Oliver von Feistmantl is a comic PoP artist from Vienna Austria that paints on pretty much everything, like houses, ships, snowboards, skateboards and even cars.
He started out as a graffiti artist in the 90´s but got arrested, so he decided to concentrate on legal ways to exhibit throughout Europe, Asia, the Caribbeans and NYC.

He makes acrylic paintings and sculptures in all sizes and in 2008 started to paint on a fishing boat in Thailand and in 2009 started to paint on cars.

The 1974 VW-Bus is called the racebus, because he got an engine from a Porsche 911 and was finished in October 2009. The 93 Chrysler Le Baron convertible was finished in 2010 and is the one he currently drives.

He hopes one day to come across a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow because its his personal dream to one day paint that car as well.
