The 1903 Paris–Madrid race represented early motorsports at its most thrilling—and dangerous. Indeed, the race was halted early after multiple fatalities. Sculptor Larry Braun here immortalizes the unofficial winner, Frenchman Fernand Gabriel, and his powerful Mors racecar. Braun expertly captures the fury and dynamism of the event, as Gabriel’s torpedo-like Mors kicks up clouds of dust and roars onward. Of the 21 examples made, this is number 16.
