The Whale Tail Project is a porsche-related artwork paying tribute to Porsche racing history.
Johans Lamic, the creator, reinterprets the iconic 930 turbo spoiler by reworking its shape and painting it in the most legendary racing liveries. He only uses original Porsche parts and colors to create his art pieces, so each Whale Tail comes with its own 30-40-years of road trip memories. The idea behind the drops is reminiscent of the original aerodynamical function of the object. As air is a liquid, the drops symbolize fluidity and speed. The project is limited to 9 series of 11 pieces each, which makes it very exclusive collector´s items.
