This canvas wall art showcases the smoke silhouette of the Pagani Huayra, one of the most iconic modern supercars the world has seen to date. This art piece was created by wrapping a canvas print around a wooden frame. It looks both beautiful and understated when mounted on the wall.
The canvas measures 16x24 inches. In case Pagani is a tad too futuristic for you, consider this alternative that showcases the timeless Porsche 911 instead.

In case you find the Mustang a tad too big (and pricey), consider this more affordable Lego Speed Champions Ferrari F8 Tributo instead.
