The Porsche racing history and its glamorous image are closely related to the 24 hour race of Le Mans. Ferdinand Porsche and Huschke von Hanstein are names that symbolize the economic miracle in post-war Germany in their own way. In these years, not only does the Mercedes star rise again, but the Stuttgart brand Porsche also makes itself known worldwide. The painting shows the 550cc Porsche owned by Polensky and von Frankenberg, which won the 1500cc class at Le Mans in 1955.
