Chinese electric vehicle maker Leapmotor on Friday revealed a special edition of its B10 sports utility vehicle with a Vincent van Gogh-inspired color scheme, making it one of the few models available in China featuring the iconic works of one of the world’s greatest artists. The B10, also Leapmotor’s first model co-developed with Stellantis, uses colors and a design inspired by one of the post-Impressionist painter’s most recognizable works, Starry Night Over the Rhône, according to the company. The car’s exterior has a coating that emulates van Gogh’s brushstrokes on the gas lighting in Arles across the blue water of the Rhône, attracting attention at this year’s Guangzhou auto show in the capital of southern China’s Guangdong province. The compact crossover made its global debut at this year’s Paris Motor Show in October and will launch in China in the first quarter of next year at an expected price range of RMB 100,000 to RMB 150,000 ($13,820-$20,730).
