For all those saving up to buy a Porsche, what better way than with a Porsche "Pink Pig" piggy bank? The Pink Pig raced at Le Mans in 1971 sporting a unique colour scheme to look like a butcher's drawing of all the meat cuts from a pig.

Porsche's piggy bank is a ceramic model of the famous 917/20 racer that was entered by French team SERA. The 600bhp race car won the three-hour pre-event race but failed to make it on to the podium in the 24-hour classic due to a crash.

Now on display at Porsche's museum, the real Pink Pig has not competed since a run at Le Mans in 2009. The Pink Pig piggy bank costs £35 and is available from the Porsche Design online shop.
