At the initiative of the distributor Pelras Toulouse, who has just passed the quarantine milestone, and its director Grégory Corbière, Studio Harcourt has set up, for the first time, in the Pink City.
Renowned for enhancing its subjects by illuminating them with the light of cinema projectors, the Parisian house has sketched the emblematic places of Toulouse.
The result was 20 works which gave birth to a unique exhibition in the heart of the spaces of the Pelras dealership distributing the BMW and Mini brands and which has extended its activities to the sale of sports and prestige cars.
PROVOST NICOLAS
Upstairs in the main building, Pelras Legend offers for sale almost all the machines that make young and old fans of exceptional GTs dream.
At the center of this noble assembly stands out a Porsche like no other: the 911 Club Coupé from 2012. Exceptional in more than one way, this model celebrates the 60th anniversary of the birth of Porsche clubs.
For this special machine, the photographers from Studio Harcourt brought out their cameras.
PROVOST NICOLAS
At the heart of a new exhibition which begins at the beginning of April, this 911 belongs to a series of 13 examples, in reference to the number of founders of these clubs.
The vehicles are all identical, except for the plate bearing each owner's name.
Necessarily members of an official club, they were drawn at random.
The photographs showcase, with a rare artistic sense, the specific features of the model: the dark green paint, Wolfgang Porsche's favorite color, the brown leather interior, the duck tail, a nod to the famous 2, 7 Carrera RS from 1973, the light alloy rims, the yellow calipers pinching carbon-ceramic discs.
Based on a 991 Carrera S, the Club Coupé also benefits from an engine kit increasing the power of the 3.8-liter flat-six to 430 horsepower.
