The “Legends of Le Mans” NFT collection will introduce a number of unique, non-fungible token art pieces and the auction is meant to coincide with the 89th edition of the race. The NFTs will feature iconic cars from across the 1940s to 1970s like the Ford GT40 and the Jaguar D-Type. The fine art “Fords and the Furious,” piece is officially licensed and endorsed by 24H of Le Mans and was designed by the Automobilist. The announcement details that there will be limited edition tributes as well.

“Every car and Le Mans edition has its own unique story to tell and through this NFT drop, fans and followers of the motorsport now have the opportunity to own 24H Le Mans officially licensed digital artworks, each with its own unique story represented visually by Automobilist,” says Pavel Turek, CEO of Automobilist.

Four months ago, Supercar collector Mario Bauer tokenized his limited edition Lamborghini Aventador LP720/4 50th anniversary edition. DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) also launched an NFT collection this year featuring the DMC-12. NFT enthusiasts can even own digital versions of their favorite die-cast Hot Wheels cars.
