This Porsche 911 GT2 was engaged in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1998, with the number 68.

It was engaged by the well-known auctioneer Hervé Poulain, who formed the Graham / Laribiere duo. Keeping with the Art Cars tradition close to Poulain’s heart, the decoration of this model was unique.

The design covering the bodywork was the work of the late press artist Wolinski, representing a naked woman on the bonnet.

At the end of the 66th edition of the 24 Hours, the team would end their race in 20th place.

A major figure of the satirical newspapers " Hara-kiri ", " l'enragé " and " Charlie Hebdo ", the cartoonist Georges Wolinski, one of the victims of the attacks on January 7, 2015 in Paris, marked his way the long line of 24 Hours of Le Mans " Art Cars " in 1998.

The famous French designer decorated the Porsche 911 GT2 of the swiss team Haberthur for its participation to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1998, with the French pilots Jean-Luc Maury-Laribière, Eric Graham and Hervé Poulain.

The latter, renowned auctioneer, had indeed chosen Georges Wolinski to extend the list of internationally renowned artists who decorated the various " Art Cars " that he drove at Le Mans. So, the author of " Gaston la bite " and " Le roi des cons " - to name just two of its most popular works - ended up on a list that, no less, includes Alexander Calder, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Arman and César, all great names in contemporary art.
