Porsche 917 is not the most successful Porsche racing car. It is neither the most powerful, nor the most beautiful. But it is the first one that wins the toughest race – the 24 Hours of Le Mans. As you know, history is written by the winners. This beautiful Porsche 917 Kurzheck #20 Gulf livery art poster is created by artist Terry Smith.

Porsche 917 gives the brand its first overall wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970 and 1971. A flat-12 engine of 4.5, 4.9 and 5 litres powers up the legendary Porsche. This car is capable of acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.3 seconds. Another 3 seconds are needed to reach 200 km/h, and the top speed is over 390 km/h.

This particular Porsche 917K is one of the most iconic racing cars ever. It becomes a star mainly for its high speed and extreme power outputs. Also, Steve McQueen makes it a true celebrity in his famous Le Mans movie. The orange and baby blue Porsche 917 Gulf livery adds particular charisma to the spectacular racing car.

Terry Smith

Terry Smith, a Detroit native, has been part of the Commercial Art Scene since 1953, initially specializing in Automotive Illustration. Using traditional tools like art boards, Windsor Newton Designers’ watercolors, paint brushes, and airbrushes, he worked on car illustrations for catalogs and national ads for major automotive companies in the late '60s and early '70s.

Throughout the late sixties and early seventies he was painting car illustrations for catalogs and national ads for the big three automotive companies. In 1972, Smith collaborated with Roger Penske, contributing to the design of color schemes for Penske-sponsored race cars during the Mark Donahue and Peter Revson era. Notably, he designed the color schemes for the L&M Porsche 917-10 and Sunoco 917-30 Can Am cars.

In 1987, Smith transitioned to computer-based design, working with his son on a Macintosh computer. While focusing on brochures, logos, training manuals, and line drawings until 2005, he didn't explore full-color car illustrations on the computer until his retirement in 2010.
