The Utah Museum of Fine Arts presents Speed. The Art of the Performance Automobile, an exhibition on view through September 16, 2012. Speed: The Art of the Performance Automobile showcases 19 of the world’s finest and fastest automobiles.

The exhibition will feature a century of legends on wheels that exemplify premier aerodynamics, engineering, art and design of their era. From the ultra-cool 1957 Jaguar XK-SS Roadster (once owned by Steve McQueen) to the 1938 Mormon Meteor III–the famous Bonneville racer that holds more long distance speed records than any other automobile in history.

Speed was organized by noted automotive historian and guest curator Ken Gross. – www.speedumfa.com
