Champion Porsche paired up renown New York graffiti artist Miguel Paredes to turn this limited edition 408hp 3.8-liter flax-six engine 997 Speedster into an amazing art car for the 2011 Art Basel Miami Beach show.
Miguel was born and raised in downtown New York and is known for specializing graffiti art which put to good use creating this Porsche art car masterpiece. This art car features vibrant colors, patterns and figures related to Japanese art and inspired by urban realism which is the underlying theme of much of the work done by Miguel Parades. I am so stocked to have this art car on art car central, simply amazing!!!

3 Cars + 3 Artist + 3 Skaters??? = The 3 Chevy Sonic Urban Art Car Series
What do you get when you have 3 Cars + 3 Artist + 3 Skaters??? Obviously you have the Chevy Sonic Urban Art Cars Series. But if you ask me I don't really know how the math works out on this one especially when you add three skates into the mix but the folks over at Chevy know something I don't.
Not to be out done by Avis Art Cars, Chevy commissioned three artists to paint their new Chevy Sonics as part of their Urban Art Series. The series was sponsored by Chevy to bring together artists of different mediums. More specifically they paired urban skaters with visual artists to give the "fuel efficient" Chevy Sonic an urban art makeover that would let the car feel more "coooooomfortable" in urban settings.
In Part One the Chevy Sonic got the once over by Queens, New York, artist Alice Mizrachi who was paired up with pro skateboarders Rodney Torres and Eli Reed. Here is what we got, a Chevy with a cityscape wrapped around the car with Flushing Meadows Unisphere in Queens on the hood.

In Part Two Brooklyn tattoo artist John Reardon to put down some fresh ink on a Chevy Sonic, inspired by Queens, NY native Luis Tolentino showing off his skateboarding skills. The sonic got a complete flame job with skulls called "death" and the good part, the car didn't feel a thing.

In Part three LA Artist EnikOne throw down some amazing artwork on this brand new unsuspecting Chevy Sonic, featuring a design inspired by skater Keelan Dadd. EnikOne is a diverse multidisciplinary artist who has found the balance between graffiti, street art, graphic design techniques and the use of screen printing and stencil methods that allow him to make multiple copys of his work.
