A poster of your 911, not someone else's
There are thousands of 911 posters. Almost none of them are of your car: your color, your wheels, your Targa bar, your ducktail or whale tail, the way you spec'd it or the way it was when you found it. That is the only 911 poster we make.
75 owners have ordered one so far, 52 in the US and the rest mostly in the Netherlands and Belgium, where the 911 is our most ordered car. Here is what they drive, where they put it, and how to photograph yours.

§ 01
Real 911s from real orders
Every poster here is a paid customer order, shown with no readable plate and nobody in the car.
§ 02
Which 911s owners order
About four in ten are air-cooled. That means early long-hood cars, 911 SCs and Carrera 3.2s, a 930 Turbo, a Speedster, and a steady run of 964s and 993s. The water-cooled side is spread almost evenly over the 996, 997, 991 and 992.
Targas are over-represented. Owners who have one want the bar and the roof panel exactly right, and they tend to say so in the notes. We have also done GT3 RS cars, both 991 and 992.
§ 03
Where owners put their 911
Over a quarter describe their own scene. Alpine passes come up a lot: the Furka with its old hotel, the Sella pass in fall, the Stelvio. So do Burgundy vineyards, Lake Huron, Mount Rainier, the Texas Hill Country and a snowy Christmas road.
From the ready-made scenes, the Pacific Coast Highway leads, then the Côte d'Azur, the Tail of the Dragon and Watkins Glen. A few owners pick the historic racing roads, the Targa Florio and the Mille Miglia, which suits a car that raced on both.
§ 04
How to photograph a 911 for a poster
The 911 is all silhouette, so the side profile and the rear three-quarter matter more than on most cars. Shoot from the rear three-quarter at about knee height. It shows the roofline sloping into the engine lid, the hips and the tail, which is where a 964, a 993 and a 996 look most different.
If you prefer the front, stand at the front three-quarter and crouch. Keep the headlights in frame: round on air-cooled cars, the fried-egg shape on a 996, and the four-point LEDs on a 991.2 or 992 tell the years apart instantly.
Tell us the spoiler (ducktail, whale tail, tea tray, none), the wheels (Fuchs, Cup, Turbo twists) and whether a Targa or Cabriolet should be open. Leave the plate on: we can remove it.

From customers
“the print looks great and the paper is very heavy...a quality product...”
“I ordered these as a surprise for my husband (well, his and hers, to be fair). We both are thrilled with them. Haven't had a chance to get them framed and hung yet, but we love them already and look forward to seeing them up on the wall!”
“Beautifully done print. Exactly as ordered. Arrived sooner than I expected. This is a Christmas gift that I can’t wait to give and see them open it.”
“Gorgeous!”
Questions
Can I get a poster of my own Porsche 911 from a photo?
Yes. Upload one photo of your 911, any generation. You see a free preview in about a minute and pay only if you love it.
How much does a custom 911 poster cost?
A 12 x 16 in fine-art print is $59, framed $119, canvas $99. Sizes go up to 28 x 40 in. US shipping is free.
Will you get my generation right, like a 964 versus a 993?
That is what the proof is for. Send a clear photo, name the model and year in the notes, and correct anything you see in the preview before you pay.
Can my Targa or Cabriolet be shown open?
Yes. Say it in the notes or change it after the preview. Owners do this often.
Can I order two 911s, like an old one and the current one?
Yes. Every print after the first is 20% off, applied in the cart.
