The largest gathering of Porsche automobiles ever on display in a U.S. art museum features a stunning selection of 22 Porsches dating from the late 1930s to present day.<\/p>\n<p>Curated by Ken Gross from some of the most renowned car collectors and collections in the automotive world, the iconic vehicles in <em>Porsche by Design: Seducing Speed<\/em> show the evolution of the signature design principles that have long linked Porsche with beauty, artistry, technology and innovation. Barbara Wiedemann, director of publications at NCMA, served as managing curator for the Museum&#8217;s first-ever design exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPorsche by Design brings together one of the most significant collections of Porsche automobiles ever assembled,\u201d said Ken Gross. \u201cMore than \u2018just a show about cars\u2019, the exhibition emphasizes the innate beauty of aerodynamic design, inseparably linked with engineering genius. It further illustrates the Porsche family\u2019s ability to stay true, over many decades, to a powerful design history while remaining on the forefront of technological advances, continually driving automobile design forward. These cars are superlative examples of uncompromised, artfully restrained design, lending visual form and grace to the notion of speed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Highlights of the exhibition include the 1938\/9 Type 64 Berlin-Rom racer designed by Porsche founder Dr. Ferdinand Porsche; a Type 804 Formula One race car, one of only four of this model ever built, and the car that Dan Gurney raced to victory at the French Grand Prix; Porsche 550-001, the first 550 built and raced; Steve McQueen\u2019s iconic Porsche 356 Speedster; an early Gmund Coupe; the 1977 Porsche 935 \u201cBaby&#8221; and the 1969 Porsche 917 16-cylinder Prototype.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Porsche by Design: Seducing Speed<\/em> exhibit is on display at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, North Carolina through January 20, 2014. Admission is free for members and $18.00 for adults. Visitors 7-18 are $12 and children 6 and under are admitted free of charge. During the run of Porsche by Design, the Museum will offer multiple car meetups, film series, lectures and other special events.

With its larger displacement, the normal 935 was ineligible, but the formula also permitted a smaller engine and a lower weight of 1,700 pounds. Porsche engineers built a special engine for what would be the lightest 911 ever, weighing in at 1,650 pounds. Much of its steel chassis was replaced with a tubular aluminum space-frame. The gas pedal and gear lever were titanium. The experimental 935 was nicknamed &quot;Baby,&quot; and it was so light that the engineers had to add weight to meet the minimum. At the Norisring, the &quot;Baby&quot; and Jacky Ickx suffered from record heat. Porsche skipped the next round and prepared for the DRM support race at the 1977 German Grand Prix, where Ickx beat the Fords and BMWs and set the fastest lap.

Porsche engineers built a special engine for what would be the lightest 911 ever, weighing in at 1,650 pounds. Much of its steel chassis was replaced with a tubular aluminum space-frame. The gas pedal and gear lever were titanium. The experimental 935 was nicknamed &#8220;Baby,&#8221; and it was so light that the engineers had to add weight to meet the minimum.
