Porsche by Design:  Seducing Speed marks the North Carolina Museum of Art's first design exhibition, exploring the history and development of the Porsche lineage from the 1930s to the present day.

Featuring 22 automobiles, Porsche by Design presents cars owned by Ralph Lauren, Steve McQueen and Janis Joplin, as well as the one of a kind Panamericana concept car on load from the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, Germany.

Car lovers will appreciate the rarity and engineering genius of the automobiles on view. Art lovers will be intrigued by Porsche design and the connections that can be drawn with other works of art. All will gain a deep appreciation for hallmarks of the Porsche make: beauty, artistry, technology, and innovation.
