My original hand-drawn drawing inspired by the McLaughlan tartan fabric. (It's not a print).
The tartan pattern inspiration for the seat fabric and door cards came from an unexpected source: a pair of tartan trousers worn by Anatole Lapine, then head designer at Porsche. Inspired by his bold style choice, the design team incorporated this classic pattern into the interior programme. A short time later, the tartan celebrated its debut at the IAA in Frankfurt in 1973 in the 911 RSR Turbo with seat centre stripes and side bolsters in "Black Watch" tartan.
A year later, Ferry Porsche gave his sister Louise Piëch the first 911 Turbo ("Turbo No. 1") for her 70th birthday. The interior was almost completely lined with the red and blue "McLaughlan" tartan and, in combination with brick-red leather seats, impressively demonstrated how classic and at the same time bold tartan can be at Porsche.
It's A3 size (approx. 40cm x 30cm / 16.5" x 11.6"), on quality watercolour paper, drawn using permanent pens.
