Jerry Judah, best known for his Goodwood sculptural additions, has just unveiled his latest auto-inspired creation. Located on the roundabout outside Porsche’s museum at Zuffenhausen in Stuttgart, Germany, the designer’s newest bit of vertical styling celebrates the company’s iconic rear-engined bread and butter – the 911.

Unlike the Mazda populated sculpture at Goodwood (https://elementemagazine.com/gerry-judahs-mazda-tower-twists-rises-over-goodwoods-2015-festival-of-speed/ ) Judah’s Porscheplatz piece features three genuine 911s: a new 911 Carrera, a 911 SC Coupé and a 911 2.2 Coupé.

Designed by UK frequenting Judah – with fabrication by Littlehampton Welding and structural engineering by Capita – the 25 meter (82 feet) tall sculpture, composed of a lightweight steel monocoque shell was prefabricated in the UK before being shipped to Germany for assembly on site.
