Avert Your Eyes: The World's Ugliest Ferrari

Digital art innovator Laurence Gartel has had his work exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art among others and is known for creating custom pieces for the likes of Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears.

His latest "masterpiece," however is rather abominable -- the world's ugliest Ferrari. And he claims it's worth $1 million.

We don't think Gartel, whose work is in the permanent collection of Smithsonian's Museum of American History, set out to make the luxury car unattractive. He transformed a $300,000 Ferrari F430 Scuderia into a moving canvas using every color imaginable in a nightmarish combination, apparently commissioned by "art social network," Artfellas.

Check out a video of the emetic supercar above, but be forewarned -- Ferrari lovers might cry, and the rest of you will probably need a bucket.

Sooorry dont agree with you all. Its kinda refreshing to look at a peace of art( ferrari)
and the paint was not objectionable. In fact, it had a rythem to itself and I thought it was kinda cool. I would drive it and thats my barometer. It was refreshing to see some one think out side of the box. Funny, it felt kinda Van Goughish. Almost a little liqued vibrant colorish. Well folks thats about 180 million dollars of art work then. So you all got it wrong. Now you can weep with your bucket for it is a work of art. Good going..................

In the '60s, this paint job would have been considered cool.

It's the only supercar I know that will look better with bird poop on it.

Uhm, what? This looks awesome.

The car isn't half as bad as the videographer's attempt to capture the essence of its style. Very amatuer and makes me wonder if there was a conscious effort to make the paint job look bad.

I kind of like the wrap.

I agree with all the writers this car is awsome and I would buy it and drive it. This car would turn more heads than the original uppity up Ferrari going down the freeway.

This is what you do to a Ford POS to make it look cooler than it actually is....not a beautiful, stylish supercar. I'm disgusted by this display, a waste of a perfectly good Ferrari. What was the point? To bring attention to the "artwork"? If the artwork was any good, you wouldn't need to put it on a Ferrari to gain recognition.
