đ Porsche 944 Cutaway â 1982 â Original B1 Poster by Studio Farr (Germany)
Fahren in seiner schĂśnsten Form | Germanâmarket technical cutaway with performance specs
Offset lithograph | 76 Ă 102 cm | Germany
đŹ Introduction
A showroomâgrade technical study of the firstâseries Porsche 944, this Germanâmarket poster renders the car in rich Guards Red with the body ghosted to reveal its transaxle drivetrain, suspension, and cabin architecture. Fine leader lines and crisp German captions map every major system; a bold vertical â944â anchors the left margin while the Porsche wordmark sits with clinical restraint at lower left. The illustration belongs to the precise, photoâreal school of lateâ20thâcentury automotive cutaways and is credited to Studio Farr.
Issued at launch, the callouts fix the early naturally aspirated 2.5âliter specificationâ120 kW (163 PS) at 5800 rpm, a 220 km/h top speed, cw 0.35, and a fully galvanized steel bodyâmaking the piece equal parts engineering diagram and aspirational dealer graphic. It captures the 944âs essential proposition: modern aerodynamics, durability, and measured performance, explained with meticulous German clarity.
⨠Why It Matters
The 944 embodies Porscheâs transaxle eraâengine up front, gearbox at the rearâfor nearâperfect weight distribution, a configuration diagrammed here with didactic precision. Factory dealer prints were working tools in showrooms and training spaces, often handled hard; early 944 examples seldom survive in collectible condition, let alone at this grade. The Studio Farr credit adds authorial interest for collectors of technical illustration and cutaway art, while the factory coding in the margin signals official Porsche AG distribution. For Porsche, design, and industrialâgraphics collectors, itâs a periodâcorrect artifact of how the model was positioned: fast, efficient, and engineered with rigor.
