Taking inspiration from the 911’s heritage, British artist Gerry Judah has created a sculpture to commemorate the iconic sports car. Consisting of three 24 metre high pillars, each crowned with a Porsche 911. Each vehicle hails from a different 911 generation as a tribute to the history of the classic. The sculpture on Porscheplatz will become the new centrepiece for visitors from all over the world.
Matthias Müller, CEO of Porsche AG, said during his address at the unveiling event: “The sculpture that we present today is more than a work of art. It is also a symbol for our company’s close ties with Stuttgart.”
In recent years, Porsche has invested around one billion Euros in facilities in the greater Stuttgart area. Furthermore, an additional 1.1 billion Euros have been earmarked for the recently-established safeguarding of locations – a large proportion of which is to be invested in Zuffenhausen.
