đ Porsche 944 Turbo Cutaway â 1985 â Original Poster by Gruppe C / Porsche AG (Germany)
Aufwand im Detail serienmäĂig. Dealer showroom technical cutaway for the 944 Turbo.
| Offset lithograph | 76 Ă 102 cm | Germany
đŹ Introduction
A large-format technical cutaway renders the 944 Turbo with surgical clarity: outer panels are ghosted to reveal the frontâmounted, 2.5âlitre turbocharged inlineâfour with intercooler, the torque tube to a rear transaxle, and the carâs cockpit, brakes, and suspension architecture. Around the illustration, crisp German callouts organize the carâs systemsâpowertrain, aero, chassis, tires, interiorâtypifying Porscheâs midââ80s information design.
Issued by Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG and designed by Stuttgart studio Gruppe C, this printing is dated 3/85, dovetailing with the modelâs launch year. The corporate headline âAufwand im Detail serienmäĂigâ (âeffort in the details as standardâ) frames the image as both an engineering statement and a sales toolâprecise, legible, and authoritative at showroom scale.
⨠Why It Matters
This poster is a primary document of Porscheâs transaxle era, encoding the 944 Turboâs headline metricsâ220 PS, Cw 0.33, 0â100 km/h in 6.3 s, 245 km/h vmax, and the vaunted 50/50 weight distributionâwithin an elegant technical illustration. Dealer cutaways were working graphics: pinned, handled, and often discarded, making surviving first-print examples scarcer than brochure art. Collectors value the period typography, the clean Gruppe C layout, and Porscheâs internal code (WWM 324310), which anchors the piece to its 1985 release. Crossover appeal spans Porsche transaxle enthusiasts, motorsport and engineering ephemera collectors, and aficionados of cutaway art from the precision-graphics golden age.
