STUTTGART: The Porsche museum here is honouring 24 works of art with an exhibition that melds art with car.
Art cars are nothing new these days and Porsche is carrying on the practice through the bonnets of Porsche 911 GT2 sports cars, which have been pressed into service as a "canvass".

The project was an idea from Argentinian Jorge Gómez who wanted to combine his love for art and the Porsche brand.
Nineteen artists from Uruguay and Argentina, including Pablo Atchugarry, Rogelio Polesello and Jorge Ferreyra Basso, accepted Gomez's invitation to lend Porsche bonnets their own signature and put a creative twist on them.
The artists used a variety of styles and materials such as acrylic, enamel, mosaic tiles and tyre rubber.
Gómez occasionally used the artistic bonnets on his own Porsche 911 GT2 and taking the artworks for a spin.
The collection is now making its European debut in the Porsche museum, being exhibited against a backdrop of 23,000hp.
The exhibits titled Colección Goméz will be on public display from Sept 20 to Jan 8.
