Porsche by Design: Seducing Speed Photo Gallery

Thought you all would enjoy our photos from the Porsche by Design: Seducing Speed exhibit at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh. They put together a great selection of 22 Porsches that must be seen in person. Hope you enjoy!

Wow, nice exhibit. You all who are close by are lucky !

Good to see the factory museum supporting these kind of events by sending cars over.

We went yesterday also, enjoyed it very much.






Is the wheel leaning because they lifted the car or is that the way they are?


All cars had a drip pan

I was there yesterday and met Magnus Walker, Chad McQueen and Jeff Zwart. Magnus brought two of his cars from California. Lots of nice examples in the parking lot as well.

Exhibit is 15 minutes from my office, might stop by there again this week again.












My daughter had a great time hanging out at the museum. She was a bit scared of Magnus with his beard and long hair.

Looks like we should have come earlier, we missed the cars in the parking lot.

Is that a bouncy house in the background?

Definitely it is not like that while driving. They lifted it up and set it down gently without bouncing or rolling it enough to get the ride height and camber back to normal. Swing axles have a lot of lateral tire scrub and camber change when the wheel moves up or down.
