Porsche 934 sculpture sells for £201,000

1:1 scale artwork sold on Collecting Cars auction platform

Would you be willing to pay over £200,000 for a Porsche that doesn’t move? Well, someone has done just that, as London based artist Benedict Radcliffe’s wireframe artwork of a Porsche 934 has sold for an eyewatering £201,000.

The actual 934 was launched back in 1976 when only 31 were made. It went on to have success in motorsport, winning the European GT Championship and Trans-Am championships of that year.

Its exploits on the track clearly served as inspiration for the creation of the art piece, which was created in a distinctive orange Jägermeister livery. It was first seen in 2022 at Milan Design Week before being showcased at the Larusmiani store in Via Monte Napoleone. It then made its way to Beijing and Shanghai as part of a collaboration with Porsche China.

Offered for sale as part of an auction on Collecting Cars’ online platform, it garnered 6,000 views and 218 bids in the seven day period, with the winning bid coming from a collector in Asia, who chose to buy the art piece rather than a slightly cheaper low mileage 911 Turbo recently sold on the platform.

“The Porsche 934, in its Jägermeister livery, is one of the most iconic racing cars of its type, and this sale of the sculpture that it evokes, is one that will go down in the history books,” said Edward Lovett, Founder and CEO of Collecting Cars.
