A TRIBUTE TO A RACING HERO

Tetsu Ikuzawa is one of Japan's most beloved race car drivers and a true icon in the history of motorsports. In 1967, he won the Japan Grand Prix as a privateer in his No.8 Porsche 906, beating the Prince team and becoming a local racing hero. Now, we are proud to introduce a Limited Edition poster that pays tribute to Ikuzawa's iconic Porsche 906. With its off-white body, yellow hood, and yellow rear panel, this car is a symbol of Ikuzawa's determination, skill, and passion for racing.

Celebrate Ikuzawa's Porsche legacy with our poster!

A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY

In the 1960s, Japan was an emerging industrial and automobile nation, and Ikuzawa was one of the early stars of Japanese motorsports. He first gained fame driving the Prince Skyline GT sedan, and later piloted the R380 in an effort to reclaim the Japan Grand Prix title from Porsche. In 1967, Ikuzawa decided to go his own way and race the Porsche 906 as a privateer. Despite facing fierce competition from the Prince team, he beat them to the finish line and cemented his status as a true underdog hero - and as they say, the rest is history.

Discover our tribute to the incredible story of Tetsu Ikuzawa and his Porsche 906!

A SYMBOL OF JAPANESE MOTORSPORTS HISTORY

The Porsche 906 is not only a symbol of Ikuzawa's legacy but also an important piece of Japanese motorsports history. The 1967 Japan Grand Prix marked a turning point in the competition between Japanese and European automakers, and Ikuzawa's victory was a triumph of skill and determination over established power. Depicted in front of the iconic Mount Fuji with sun rising behind, the poster serves as a metaphor to the Porsche 906 driven by Testu rising above its competition. Printed on a beige vintage paper matching the beige tone of the Porsche, the poster perfectly captures the spirit of this historic race and celebrates the legacy of a true racing legend.
