About the artwork

The black and white photo of a Porsche 911 is one of the most famous sports car photos ever taken. This photograph was taken on the day after the highly public release of the Porsche 912 Black Series, the first model of Porsche to use the new styling technique. The photo showed the Porsche in its full glory; from the long sleek hood, the short front overhang to the rear-wheel-drive air dam. In many ways, the Porsche 911 the most iconic sports car is the very image that encapsulates the essence of everything about the sport: it's daring design, its sheer performance, and its ultimate flair. It is this very essence that makes the black and white photo of a Porsche 911 so great - it shows exactly what is so great about owning one of the most beautiful sports cars ever created.

The black and white photograph of a Porsche 911 was a highly critical production image, as it was used for several months after the car's official release. The image alone was hugely influential, as it changed the way that Porsche was perceived by the general public. Many publications printed nothing but the black and white photos of the Porsche, as they were keen to highlight the car's unique look. The car's stylized lines and the sleek design were so different from any other model of its time that it was immediately obvious that the black and white photographs of the Porsche 911 were going to be big, iconic marketing tools.
