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.

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.

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.
