Porsche 911 Sculpture

There have been quite a few very good cars made by Porsche over the years. However, none of them are as married to the brand as the 911. When someone talks about the German performance car maker, most will conjure an image of the rear-engined sports car.

It is no wonder then, that the iconic model would be chosen as the centerpiece for a new sculpture located at the Porscheplatz in Zuffenhausen, Germany. The 78 foot tall piece of automotive art is the work of British artist Gerry Judah.

If this looks familiar that is because a similar piece of art was on display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed a couple of years ago to celebrate 50 years of the 911. Judah was also the artist behind that sculpture and while that was temporary, this is planned to be a permanent display.

The piece features an F-model from 1970, a G-model from 1981, as well as the latest 991 generation 911. All three are in a brilliant white which not only helps them stand out, but allows for some nice night displays.

Matthias Mueller, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG, said during his address at the unveiling event, “The sculpture that we present today is more than a work of art. It is also a symbol for our company’s close ties with Stuttgart.” In recent years, Porsche has invested around one billion Euros in facilities in the greater Stuttgart area.
