The Porsche 911 Targa and the Porsche 550 Spyder embody two legendary facets of Porsche: open-top grand touring on the one hand, and an ultra-lightweight racing roadster on the other. Named after the Targa Florio, the 911 Targa sits between a coupé and a cabriolet—featuring a fixed roll bar, a large rear window, and an electrically operated removable roof—and was designed to blend style, driving pleasure, and everyday usability. In contrast, the 550 Spyder is a minimalist two-seater conceived from the outset for motorsport success; it marked Porsche’s first major factory triumph, achieving class victories at Le Mans and an overall win at the 1956 Targa Florio.

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.
