Ready the mancave: one-off Porsche 934 sculpture sells for £201,000 on Collecting Cars
Collecting Cars, the world-renowned auction platform, has successfully sold a 1:1 scale wireframe artwork of the Porsche 934, created by artist Benedict Radcliffe, for an impressive £201,000* 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 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. It’s proof of the breadth of automobilia available on Collecting Cars and the power of our community and bidders on the platform. We can’t wait to see the sculpture in situ with our client in Asia – it’s going to be a great talking piece,” said Edward Lovett, Founder and CEO of Collecting Cars.
The hand-crafted wireframe sculpture, a meticulous homage to the legendary Porsche 934 racing car, captures the essence of its design in stunning detail. First seen in 2022 at Milan Design Week, the sculpture was showcased at the prestigious Larusmiani store on Via Monte Napoleone. It later travelled to Beijing and Shanghai, where it was exhibited in collaboration with Porsche China, further solidifying its international acclaim.
Collecting Cars continues to solidify its position as a leader in the global collector car market, offering rare and remarkable items that celebrate automotive excellence.
