Alfa Romeo are to auction off a one-of-a-kind car to raise funds for the Save the Children charity.

The car is adorned with a striking, unique livery from Swiss-based artist BOOGIE that we rather wish could be the team's actual race look for 2023.

It will be displayed at events around the world for a year, before ultimately being auctioned through F1 Authentics.

“The opportunity to paint a Formula 1 car doesn’t come every day," said Basel-based BOOGIE. "It’s a once in a lifetime chance, and to do it for a team based in Switzerland has a special meaning for me.

"With my design, I have tried to convey the spirit of this team: the letters all coming together to form the art symbolise all the people, partners and organisations that contribute to create this car."

BOOGIE said that that embodied the spirit of Alfa Romeo itself, "a group of people with a vision that is more than the sum of its parts."

“We are proud to bring this project to life together with an incredible artist such as BOOGIE," said Sauber managing director and team representative Alessandro Alunni Bravi.

"He is like us, the embodiment of talent who came to call Switzerland home and evolved a unique style and way of doing things.

"Like BOOGIE, we are not afraid to challenge the way things are done and the Art Car project is the best example of this."

Alfa Romeo will be revealing its official 2023 racing livery and new carat a launch event in Zurich next week.
