Von Schmidt 004
Inspired by the Gulf colors of the Porsche 917 that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970 and 1971.
Blue as the sky
Whereas the first three Von Schmidt projects excel in subtlety, VS 004 immediately catches the eye. In terms of looks and performance, this car is anything but shy. Striking paint, a custom exhaust system and a finger-licking interior. This bespoke build simply cannot be ignored.
Endurace is key
The colorway on this car is based on the racing cars of Gulf. In the 1970s, Gulf caused a craze with its use of color during the 24 Hours of Le Mans. History was written with a Porsche 917 by winning the world famous race in ’70 and ’71. Every connoisseur knows: the 24 Hours of Le Mans is grueling for both driver and cars. The paint and craftsmanship of this Von Schmidt is an ode to that endurance race.
