The Porsche 917/20 "Pink Pig" No. 23 is a unique prototype entered in the 1971 24 Hours of Le Mans by the Martini International Racing Team, driven by Reinhold Joest and Willi Kauhsen. Featuring a very wide and bulging experimental body, developed to combine the advantages of the 917 K and 917 LH, and a 4.9-liter flat-12 engine producing around 600 hp, it received this pink livery with butcher's cuts designed by Anatole Lapine, which earned it its nickname and made it an icon despite retiring after 12 hours while running in 5th position.
A Dream Life in Watercolor
Since childhood, Uli Ehret (born in Weinheim, Germany in April 1965) was passionate about cars and painting. At just 16 years old, he began winning national art competitions, and at 21, he opened his own advertising agency.
In 1998, the discovery of watercolor as a medium for depicting racing cars allowed him to make his first breakthrough in art. For his exhibition at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2005, Ehret demonstrated that he had finally found the tool to express dynamism, movement, and vibrations, and that he was now able to represent speed in his paintings. A subtle blend of realistic representation and impressionism. By its very nature, watercolor allows for a representation of movement that can be perceived even in the dust spray from the road and the glow of the brake discs. And the way Ehret utilizes the background adds even more speed to his works.
But his work doesn't stop at this impressionistic style; it is also complemented by the story of a specific race, a driver's life, a competition's high point, or a historical moment in motorsport. Uli Ehret reads extensively about motorsport, both current and historical. His library contains several hundred books on all kinds of cars, drivers, and eras. Thus, a painting doesn't just depict a fast car, but also tells a story about the person behind the wheel or a particular day of racing, filled with historical details.
