Wedge Era Wall Art

Wedge Era — 3 museum-grade prints that set the mood. The Alpine A310 was introduced in 1971 as a successor to the A110, using a steel backbone chassis and fibreglass body with four-cylinder and later PRV V6 engines. Alpine operated from Dieppe under Renault ownership, maintaining rally and road-car identity through the 1970s wedge era. The Lotus Esprit S1 gained global recognition as James Bond's amphibious escape vehicle in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) — a cultural association separate from the road car's modest early power outputs. Rank 23 in Heritage Icons documents the Maserati Bora as a marque specimen — Unveiled in 1971, the Bora was Maserati's first mid-engine road car with a Giugiaro Italdesign body — 4. 7-litre quad-cam V8 amidships, roughly 310 PS, and a claimed 280 km/h top speed in factory literature.
