Available for auction is a collection of authentic numbered limited edition Porsche racing posters signed by Erich Strenger. The seller notes all eight posters have been preserved in their original box and have never been mounted or framed. These posters are in excellent condition, measure 20" x 27", are larger than their original press runs, and are on much higher quality paper with better print quality and colors. Porsche often scrambled to have advertisement posters printed in a timely fashion following the team's win. With this limited edition run, which dates shortly before Strenger's death, he finally had the liberty to print his designs the way he intended.
It’s said that no one has helped to shape the image of Porsche as much as Erich Strenger. Strenger, a graphic designer created adverts, brochures, and racing posters for Porsche and founded Porsche’s in-house magazine, Christophorus. The starting signal for the long-term collaboration began in 1951 when Strenger and historian Richard von Frankenberg, who had just begun to form Porsche’s communication department, discovered their common enthusiasm for the brand. At the beginning of the 1950s, Porsche’s brand name was typically handwritten on the brand’s advertising material. Strenger quickly developed a new, more modern, and universally applicable. Motorsport retained most of Porsche’s focus, enabling them to demonstrate the sportiness of its machines. Porsche’s famous racing director and public relations manager, Huschke von Hanstein, ordered a poster from Strenger for each race. The posters portrayed the most important moments from the Targa Florio, Le Mans, and the Monte-Carlo Rally. Strenger designed countless racing posters for Porsche up until the 1980s, reflecting not only his graphic talent but also his inexhaustible creativity.
The eight posters displaying some of Strengers incredible work are composed of the following:
- #48/250 "McQueen Drives Porsche" 12 Hours of Sebring 1970
- #223/250 Championnat D'europe Des Rallyes 1966 la Porsche 911
- #49/250 Final Standings Can-Am 1973
- #49/250 Triumph der Zuverlassigheit 1975

Hi, everyone! Thought I would share a photo to help give a bit of extra perspective on the beauty of these prints: https://ibb.co/rv57TwW . On the left, you have the Can-Am print - and on the right, an original Sebring poster (not included in sale). Beyond the obvious size difference, the paper quality and color/ printing sharpness definitely stand out. The original is quite thin; you can certainly see light through it. But these prints are are 2-3x thicker, with a much nicer hand. Happy bidding!
