E30 M3 DTM
The E30 is timeless in its simple form and lack of high-tech gadgetry. Making 320 HP from its 2.3 L four in DTM (sport evo 2.5) trim, one can argue it’s the most successful BMW racer. It certainly looks great and was super fun to research and draw, especially in the FINA livery recreated in…

Rothmans 962
An underrated livery for its time! Here is the bold Rothmans design on the Porsche 962 chassis 004, driven by Jochen Mass. Powered first by a 2.6L flat-six and later a 3.0L and 3.2L fuel injected variants, the 962 and 962C were dominant racers in the 1980s, winning the WSC title in 85/86, the IMSA…

BMW M1
You know a Giugiaro design when you see it. The M1 is one of the best, even though as racers the cars were heavy and had limited success despite the CSL racing engine producing as much as 470 HP. The top design is part of a mini print series, and bottom poster was one of…

981 Boxster S and GT4
The 981 series is where the Boxster/Cayman finally grew up into a mature motor that combines an amazing chassis with looks – and a range of engines that bring the power. The 2013 Boxster S brought it all together in a package that had critics pondering if the baby Porsche had finally surpassed its big…

Salzburg 917 Study
The Legend when it comes to Porsche motorsport history. The 917 KH from Porsche Salzburg not only won at Le Mans in 1970, but stands out for its timeless livery. These studies start with a new tribute poster, followed by explorations of various color combos and treatments, but don’t drift too far from the classic…

The Perfect Martini
Ah, Martini. The distinctive stripes make the cars instantly recognizable. While some Alfas in the 1960s were Martini sponsored, it was the 1971 sponsorship of the famed Porsche 917 that put Martini Racing on the map. Later the 935 in Martini livery would win the 1976 World Sportscar Championship. But there’s nothing like the 917K…

Type 804 F1
The only F1 car developed and built entirely by Porsche, the Type 804 is all about function. Weighing only 461 kg, the aluminum body hugs a 8-cylinder motor that is exposed at the rear. Later improvements included a trailing arm rear suspension not shown on these renderings. Raced for only one year, Dan Gurney drove…

The greatest M?
The E46 M3 is a legend. Almost perfect balance, a sublime high-revving motor, and a timeless design. Yes, the SMG-II was clunky, but at speed the E46 was so planted yet responsive. There were some great color choices as well, from classic Titanium Silver, to Laguna Seca Blue, and of course Phoenix Yellow. The middle…

Coupe Cambiocorsa
The Giugiaro-penned body looks amazing, especially in the rear three-quarter view. The Ferrari-designed motor provides the thrust. This was a GT that excelled at making a grand exit with the wail of its perfectly tuned quad exhaust. And it was fast – faster than a 911 of this era. After the b/w photo, the top…

It’s about the angles
Automotive photography is all about the angles. And the light. And often about the details – like the wheels! The wheels tell a story. Is it a work truck, or a race car? And is the driver into function or fashion? The wheels know.
