Victory endures: the iconic Porsche poster art of Le Mans
Capturing hard-won victories in a single image
From Manet’s horses to Rousseau’s footballers and beyond, sport has always inspired art. Motorsport included. But of all the races great and small to be immortalized, none embody the grit and grind necessary for victory like the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Held in mid-June in the Pays de la Loire region of France, Le Mans is a gauntlet for both racer and racecar. Over the course of those twenty-four hours, anything is possible, from stunning victories in spite of the odds to crushing defeats because of them.Porsche has been fortunate at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, having won a record 19 times. No wonder that so many iconic Porsche racecars—from the 917 to the 935—have featured prominently on the event’s official poster art. Sought after by collectors of racing memorabilia because of their bold design, high-resolution copies are now available for download below.
