A stunning wireframe sculpture of the Porsche 934, created by the renowned artist Benedict Radcliffe, has recently sold for an impressive £201,000 (USD $251,000) at auction—surpassing the actual car it represents. This piece, featuring the iconic orange Jägermeister livery, debuted at the 2022 Milan Design Week and has since captivated audiences at Porsche exhibitions in Beijing and Shanghai.

Radcliffe is widely recognized for his innovative approach to automotive art, crafting masterpieces from tubing. His portfolio features iconic vehicles such as the Ferrari F40 and Jaguar E-Type. However, his latest work—a life-sized rendition of the Porsche 934—has certainly made the biggest impression to date. The sculpture was meticulously built using 32mm mild steel tubes, carefully shaped to reflect the sleek and elegant design of the original racing car in 1:1 proportions.

The Porsche 934 occupies a special place in automotive history, not only because of its rarity—only 31 units were produced—but also for its timeless design, which has captivated the imaginations of car enthusiasts for years. The sculpture, which drew 218 bids at auction, now offers a unique and rare opportunity for the new owner to almost possess a piece of this legendary vehicle.

For those who missed out on this remarkable piece, Radcliffe currently offers other works for sale. His London taxi sculpture is available for USD $204,296, or if you’re seeking something more affordable, you can purchase a 1:15 scale Porsche 959 made from composite resin for USD $5,108. While this particular sculpture has found a permanent home, it’s clear that Radcliffe’s automotive art continues to push boundaries. With the Porsche 934 sculpture’s record-breaking price, it’s likely to become the centrepiece of the new owner’s collection, whether it’s showcased in a garage or a dedicated man cave.

Glenmorangie Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky has launched a fresh and exciting campaign featuring Hollywood icon Harrison Ford. Known for his legendary roles in Star Wars and his recent appearance in the acclaimed series Shrinking, Ford is stepping into a new venture—whisky. The campaign, titled “Once Upon a Time in Scotland,” provides a unique behind-the-scenes look at Glenmorangie’s Highland origins, with Ford showcasing his signature dry wit in a series of episodic films directed by Joel Edgerton.

In the campaign, Ford embarks on a personal journey through Scotland, uncovering the craftsmanship that defines each bottle of Glenmorangie whisky. “I had the best time,” Ford reminisced about his Scottish adventure. “You go to Scotland, and you just say goodbye to wherever you were, because you’re in Scotland.” Beyond whisky, Ford immerses himself in the rich Scottish culture, from grasping the local dialect to wearing traditional kilts and enjoying a dram of single malt with the locals.

This campaign doesn’t adhere to the typical polished commercial style. Instead, it embraces an offbeat, unscripted vibe that allowed Ford and the team to explore freely. “We had plenty of chances to improvise. Nobody stopped us,” Ford recalls. “It’s rare in our industry. Glenmorangie’s openness to avoid being overly serious is something I really appreciated. It was fun to not to be boxed into a typical commercial structure.”

The campaign was filmed at the Glenmorangie distillery in Tain, where whisky has been crafted for over 180 years, along with the picturesque Ardross Castle and the stunning landscapes surrounding Loch Glass. Ford is joined by the actual Glenmorangie team, many of whom experienced their first taste of acting under Ford’s guidance. The star whiskies, Glenmorangie Original 12 Years Old and Glenmorangie Infinita 18 Years Old, take centre stage, perfectly capturing the essence of the brand.

Reflecting on his experience, Ford said, “It’s better to see the texture and imperfections of things than to make everything shiny and perfect. Every moment we spent turned out to be full of unexpected pleasures.”
