Porsche by Design: Seducing Speed – Photo Gallery

The Porsche by Design: Seducing Speed exhibit is presently on display at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, North Carolina through January 20, 2014. The largest gathering of Porsche automobiles ever on display in a U.S. art museum features a stunning selection of 22 Porsches dating from the late 1930s to present day.

Curated by Ken Gross from some of the most renowned car collectors and collections in the automotive world, the iconic vehicles in Porsche by Design: Seducing Speed show the evolution of the signature design principles that have long linked Porsche with beauty, artistry, technology and innovation. Barbara Wiedemann, director of publications at NCMA, served as managing curator for the Museum’s first-ever design exhibition.
