LONDON: Auction platform Collecting Cars has sold a 1:1 scale wireframe artwork of the Porsche 934, created by artist Benedict Radcliffe, for £201,000 (RM1.1mil) last week.
This final sale price is over three times that of an iconic 930-series 911 Turbo**, underscoring the global appeal of this extraordinary artwork.
Reaching international bidders, the 1:1 wireframe model gathered over 6,000 views across its seven-day auction on Collecting Cars’ platform and saw 218 bids in that period.
Sold to a collector in Asia, the winning price of £201,000 is over three times more expensive than a usable 911 Turbo of the same era, or as much as a low-mileage example (£180,500 in February 2024) sold recently on Collecting Cars’ auction site.
The hand-crafted wireframe sculpture is a homage to the Porsche 934 racing car.
First seen in 2022 at Milan Design Week, the sculpture then travelled to Beijing and Shanghai, where it was exhibited in collaboration with Porsche China.
“The Porsche 934, in its Jägermeister livery, is one of the most iconic racing cars of its type, and this sale of the sculpture that it evokes, is one that will go down in the history books," said Collecting Cars founder and CEO Edward Lovett.
"We can’t wait to see the sculpture in situ with our client in Asia – it’s going to be a great talking piece.”
