NFT car is a kind of exclusive digital art based on beautifully styled automotive masterpieces. It combines the trending world of NFT and the world of automotive which has a lot of loyal followers.
The flexibility of blockchain technology allows car industries to take advantage of it. A lot of car manufacturers or car enthusiasts have created their NFTs about cars with various kinds and many purposes. A lot of car brands have been using NFT for marketing purposes. Most of them focus on their customers’ experience with their exclusive cars. Some of them also use NFTs for charity or merely allow collectors to collect NFTs based on their cars.
It is common to make and sell an NFT from anything these days, so your car is not an exception. You can take some pictures of your beautiful car, then make them your NFT collection to sell. The real question is whether there are people who are willing to spend their money on your NFTs.
It is challenging to get investors, especially if your car is a commonly used Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. Investors want exclusivity, so you can put some effort into your NFT, like properly modifying your car first or making your pictures more aesthetic with creative digital tweaks.
Various kinds of cars have been involved in the automotive NFT trend. These NFT examples show that electric cars, sports cars, supercars, stunt cars, racing cars, luxury cars, and even car toys can not escape from the hands of artists, companies, and NFT investors.
This NFT is based on three real-life photos of Porsche’s most popular electric car, the Porsche Taycan. The Taycan’s body is decorated with bright-colored graphics, along with some parts of the rims.
The artist behind the NFT is Nigel Sense, who was told by Porsche Australia to create some art from the three Porsche Taycan photos. The pictures then are minted into NFTs with a goal to help the Australian Center for Contemporary Art, which would receive a donation from all the proceeds from the NFT.
Destroying cars is not an acceptable thing for some die-hard car enthusiasts, let alone making a $200,000 Lamborghini’s supercar to pieces by exploding it. However, that is exactly what Shl0ms and his team have done. Shl0ms is an artist responsible for the 999 fragments NFTs of the exploding Lamborghini Huracan. To make car enthusiasts feel better, anyway, the supercar had high mileage and was not a brand new one.

Nissan Canada seems to use NFT to help the selling of a special kind of car at auction. The car is a Nissan GT-R Nismo Special Edition. A Nismo version of the R35 GT-R is already special on its own, so this particular sports car from Nissan is even more staggering.

The Hot Wheels car toys have been completing the childhood of many soon-to-be car enthusiasts around the world. Many people follow and love the automotive world because they had some Hot Wheels decorating their desks when they were kids.
