Default Porsche art

As some of you know I have been working on updating a mid century modern house in Miami. I thought it fitting to have a Porsche as the centerpiece of the living room. It is a scene from the 1960 Targa Florio with a 356 Carrera Abarth GTL chasing a Fiat Abarth 750 through an old village. I saw one of these rare cars at Laguna Seca at the Historics over this past summer and really liked its design. The artist is very well known in the Porsche world and was great to work with. He also painted a Fiat piece for me as well and is finishing a small Porsche piece for one of the bedrooms. His site is www.nicolashunziker.com.

No affiliation to the artist, just a very happy client.

Ahhhhh, you have inspired me to re-start my renovation project! I can't wait to hang some of the nice automotive art I have collected over the years.

Very nice piece, thanks for sharing!

Nice. Looks like a silk-screen made from an old racing poster, no? I had a chance to buy an Abarth in Germany for $1200 U.S. in '74 ....
