Sculpted Legend Speedform
Inspired by the Porsche 911
A precision machined speedform sculpture designed by gearheads for gearheads.
Since its unveiling at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1963, the Porsche 911 has captivated motoring enthusiasts around the world. Throughout its eight generations of models, the 911 has largely retained its iconic rounded profile.
This CNC machined aluminum speedform sculpture is an interpretation of the Porsche 911 ethos done in collaboration with professional automotive designer Andhika Dimas. It is designed to exaggerate the 911's iconic timeless proportion and capture it in sculptural form.
What is a Speedform?
A Speedform is a common automotive designing style which helps automotive designers hone proportions and create movement in the design. The placement of lights, mirrors or air intakes is often disregarded at this stage as designers are striving to make the design as dynamic as possible.
“To give shape to speed. That is the objective of speedform...”
Yes, this is the actual 1969 Porsche 917K, which won the "24 Hours of Daytona" in 1970 by 45 laps.
Design & Precision Machining
Traditionally, speedforms are sculpted from clay by an automotive designer (#dontforgetthemodellers). There is no substitute for freshly machined metal, so in typical AltDynamic fashion, we had to elevate the speedform to sculpture quality.
We have spent countless hours virtually simulating toolpaths and have machined nearly two dozen prototypes to sculpt an elegant speedform. The outcome is a flawlessly machined finish fused with flowing contours.
All Speedforms are machined in the USA. We have done extensive prototyping to make sure we can deliver with the utmost quality and craftsmanship.

Finishing & Anodized Colors
We know Porsche and automotive enthusiasts have high standards and are very particular about colors and the spec of their cars. We are starting this campaign with a base offering of 5 color options. Based on feedback, we will add more colors, the more backers there are, the more options we can offer.
We are using anodized color coatings which are extremely durable, corrosion-resistant, scratch-resistant and won't stain or rub off. Porsche, Lamborghini and Ferrari use anodizing for their center locking wheels.
Paint to Sample - Customization for Enthusiasts
If you have a particular color, finish or texture, we will gladly try to accommodate you. Custom colors, materials or paints are all possible, even larger sculptures. Inquire Within.
Please note this passion project is not done in partnership or in association in any way with Porsche AG or Porsche Cars North America, Inc., though it would be really cool if it was (write us).
