🏁 Porsche 944 — Double SCCA National Championships – 1988 – Original Poster by Michael Osborne Design (USA)
Factory victory announcement for Porsche’s 944 program
| Screenprint on heavy paper | 102 × 76 cm | USA
🎬 Introduction
A crisp piece of late‑’80s corporate motorsport design, this factory poster splits a bright white field against a saturated orange panel, crowned by the PORSCHE 944 wordmark. “WINS” lands in oversized condensed type, while a championship coupe skims the central seam and a halftone, nose‑on race car punches out of the lower right. The screenprinted color planes and dot‑screen imagery—on thick stock—telegraph both showroom polish and track grit, aligning perfectly with the 944’s dual identity.
Issued by Porsche Cars North America and designed by Michael Osborne Design, the layout distills high‑performance messaging into modular typography and clean geometry. Photography by Geoffrey Hewitt reinforces period authenticity, with production values typical of Porsche’s late‑’80s brand communications.
✨ Why It Matters
This poster celebrates a rare “double” at the 1988 SCCA National Championships: Fred Baker’s SSGT win in the 944 Turbo and David Finch’s GT2 title in the 944S, cementing the 944’s competitive credibility beyond the showroom. Dealer and distributor victory sheets were inherently ephemeral—tacked up in showrooms and workshops, then discarded—so large, US 30×40 screenprinted survivors in near‑mint condition are scarce. The piece intersects multiple collecting lanes: Porsche 944 and transaxle aficionados, SCCA historians, and graphic design collectors drawn to bold, modular typography and halftone motorsport imagery. As a succinct record of model‑line dominance, it’s both a period document and a gallery‑ready statement.
