2024 MV Agusta Superveloce Arsham First Look [Edition of 6]

December 8, 2023

MV Agusta’s limited edition models keep getting more exclusive. The 2024 MV Agusta Superveloce Arsham, built in collaboration with Daniel Arsham, will have just six examples produced, and you’ll have to be connected to get one at any price.
“The Superveloce Arsham will not be available through MV Agusta official dealers,” an MV Agusta insider explains, “but MV Agusta top customers and Daniel Arsham’s collectors have already been given the opportunity to submit their interest. The price is provided upon request.”

Daniel Arsham is likely not a name well-known in motorcycling households. However, among contemporary art fans, the American artist is known for his work with the color white, and a broad range of collaborations with other artists and brands. For example, working with architect Alex Mustonen, Arsham developed Snarkitecture. On the commercial front, Arsham has worked with Adidas, Dior, Byredo, Porsche, Rimowa, Tiffany, and Toraichi—and now MV Agusta. The unusual finish on the 2024 MV Agusta Superveloce Arsham is the result of Arsham’s signature “erosion” technique.

“I was always fascinated by the automotive world,” Arsham explains. “The design ethos of cars and motorcycles always fits a particular era, and they mark time through their design. The project on the Superveloce was the opportunity to explore a moving sculpture, a functional motorcycle that has been transformed into a sculpture, by adding crystal erosions and by applying a color that is reminiscent of my other artworks and style. Together with MV Agusta, we created everything on the bike, including the stand, overcoming engineering challenges and resulting in a new interpretation of Motorcycle Art.”

MV Agusta Motor CEO Timur Sardarov said, “I am thrilled about this incredible collaboration with Daniel Arsham, an artist I truly admire and that has so much in common with MV Agusta in terms of values and philosophy. His works are amazingly inspiring, and together, we will take our Motorcycle Art to the next level.”
The striking 2024 MV Agusta Superveloce Arsham is scheduled to be unveiled today at Art Basel Miami Beach 2023.
