Masterfully drawn for ultimate aerodynamic performance by the legendary designer Luigi Colani, six visionary hypercar design studies were created to mark the rebirth of the prestigious Pierce-Arrow name. 

I had the privilege of working alongside Luigi Colani during the Pierce-Arrow revival project. Through this close collaboration, I witnessed first-hand the passion, creativity, and ambition that shaped what would become one of the most visionary automotive concepts of the 21st century.   

According to Luigi Colani, the origins of the Pierce-Arrow by Colani project reached back to his childhood. At the age of nine, he was captivated by the legendary Silver Arrows racing at Berlin ´ s  AVUS circuit. 

At the same time, he became aware of the very innovative streamlined Pierce-Arrow Silver Arrows, which he regarded as the world ´ s most exclusive and expansive automobiles. Only five of them were built.

These two early impressions remained with him throughout his life and ultimately inspired the Pierce-Arrow "sixpack" project: a vision that combined the elegance of the US Pierce-Arrow Silver Arrow with the speed and engineering spirit of the German Silver Arrows.

Colani's ambition was to create a completely new automotive icon - one that would honour both legends while surpassing his own Colani Ferrari Testa d´ Oro world speed record of 351 km/h with a projected top speed of more than 500 km/h.

He envisioned the technical genius Franco Sbarro as the architect of the foundation - an ultra-lightweight high performance Chassis designed for pure velocity. Upon this technical canvas, Colani would have unleashed his signature biodesign principles.

To strengthen this vision, six design sketches were meticulously printed onto physical shares. The total edition is strictly defined by history: six series of 250 individual motifs, plus one final of 500 combining all six masterpieces on a single sheet. 

Printed in royal blue on premium artist paper, these historic shares are collector ´ s items in their own right. They were intended to champion the creation of the six custom-built hypercars, designed to mirror the original sketches with a projected price of $ 7,5 Million each. 

Although the 2008 financial crisis abruptly halted the journey, their story is far from over. 

Today, these non-valeurs are being transformed into a new era of value by bringing them to the blockchain, securing these historic automotive designs as timeless digital assets.
