Shmidt.Art - Porsche - PORSCHE 959 - 1980s

Offered is an elegant and highly detailed A1-size poster featuring the legendary Porsche 959 Komfort (1987), one of the most technologically advanced and influential supercars of the twentieth century. The artwork combines several illustrated views of the vehicle with detailed mechanical components, technical specifications, and dimensional information. Description This A1-format poster presents the Porsche 959 Komfort from 1987 through a carefully arranged collection of automotive illustrations. The design combines complete exterior views with separate technical studies of the engine, suspension, wheels, drivetrain components, and principal vehicle dimensions. The design includes: Multiple front, rear three-quarter, and side views of the Porsche 959 Detailed illustration of the twin-turbocharged flat-six engine Suspension and drivetrain component illustrations Wheel and tyre construction details Overall dimensions, wheelbase, track width, and wheel specifications Technical specification panel with performance information Decorative engineering, compass, and scale elements Vintage-inspired background with a double-line border Poster size: A1 (594 × 841 mm) Design & Aesthetic The poster is executed in the style of a vintage automotive engineering plate. Detailed shaded illustrations are combined with restrained technical annotations and carefully positioned dimensional markings. The warm, lightly aged background, prominent period-inspired typography, symmetrical border, and muted automotive colors create the appearance of a historic workshop document or technical manual. The combination of exterior views and exposed mechanical components makes the composition both decorative and informative. Subject Significance Introduced during the 1980s as Porsche’s technological flagship, the Porsche 959 was conceived as an experimental high-performance platform incorporating some of the most advanced automotive technologies available at the time. Its 2.85-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine produced approximately 450 PS and used sequential turbocharging to provide more progressive power delivery. The engine was paired with an electronically controlled Porsche-Steuer Kupplung all-wheel-drive system, commonly known as PSK, which could vary the distribution of power between the front and rear axles. The 959 also featured adjustable suspension, sophisticated electronic monitoring systems, lightweight composite body panels, hollow-spoke magnesium wheels, and an aerodynamically optimized body. With a maximum speed of approximately 317 km/h, it was among the fastest series-production road cars in the world. The Komfort version combined this exceptional performance with a more comprehensively equipped interior and greater everyday usability. It retained the extraordinary mechanical specification of the 959 while providing the refinement expected from Porsche’s flagship road car. Many technologies demonstrated by the 959—including advanced all-wheel drive, sequential turbocharging, electronic chassis control, and intelligent use of lightweight materials—later influenced subsequent Porsche production models. Condition Excellent visual condition Crisp print quality with finely rendered details No visible defects (adjust if necessary) Lot Details Lot size: 1 poster Size: A1 Theme: Classic supercar / mechanical illustration Subject: Porsche 959 Komfort (1987) Collector’s Appeal This poster is an ideal collectible for Porsche enthusiasts, supercar collectors, automotive engineering admirers, and fans of historically important performance cars. It works particularly well as a decorative centerpiece for a home, office, garage, studio, workshop, or showroom, combining the distinctive appearance of the Porsche 959 with detailed illustrations of its groundbreaking mechanical technology.
