Vertical Specimen Wall Art

Vertical Specimen — 2 museum-grade prints that set the mood. The Volkswagen Golf GTI defined hot-hatch culture before rally regulations made compact silhouettes factory weapons — yet Martini Racing stripe mythology and Volkswagen Motorsport branding on catalog art connect the Mk1 to the same sponsor visual language Lancia and Ford legends wore in Group B broadcast memory. Real Mk1 GTI rally programs ran through national championships and ice-race folklore; this plate dares full Martini livery and number 1 authority as catalog tribute to an era when VW proved front-drive hatchbacks could look race-ready without quattro budgets. The Citroën Xsara WRC marked the beginning of Sébastien Loeb's reign — a partnership with Citroën Sport that would eventually yield nine consecutive drivers' championships and redefine WRC stage-craft. Total sponsorship and Telefónica MoviStar branding made the livery instantly recognizable on early-2000s WRC broadcasts, while the Xsara hatch platform proved that compact French engineering could beat Subaru and Ford factory programs on pure pace.
