In the CURVES universe, too, summer is coming to an end these days. In the rearview mirror, the serpentine roads of our last trips to Portugal, the Grossglockner, South Tyrol or further south are getting smaller and the CURVES team is drifting back home from all directions. As luck would have it, the epicenter of the car world has also shifted with our return home.

The CURVES universe is actually just like the world itself: in addition to the big, epic journeys through countries and sometimes even half a continent, we also have a (not so) secret soft spot for the small islands that await us like jewels in the sea.

The 5th edition of the Petro Surf Festival took place in Sylt, offering participants the perfect weather with temperatures around 25°. This year's event, organized by Ken Harke, a passionate surfer and Porsche enthusiast, proved to be another resounding success.

A recent sighting on Corsica: our newest CURVES adventure involved a travelling companion that at first glance seemed a less than perfect fit on this Mediterranean island – the Porsche 911 Dakar.

Porsche has decided to celebrate their 75th birthday in the best way possible: with a stunning electric hypercar concept. Behold the Mission X, a wildly futuristic electric missile which previews the successor to the iconic 918.

We’ve come to the end, or, to be more precise, the end of the earth. Finally. But not quite: a little over 5,700 kilometers lie ahead of us at our starting point in Puerto Montt, Chile, until all that’s left is a view of the ice-gray Pacific Ocean from Tierra del Fuego to the south. Next stop: Antarctica.

On the road at the end of the world. We’re talking about Chilean route RN9 through southern Patagonia. From Torres del Paine National Park down to Tierra del Fuego. The route is actually known as “Fin del Mundo” – the end of the world. Once past the Andes, the yawning, flat terrain stretches from horizon-to-horizon, covered with a thin carpet of hardy vegetation.

The Porsche 356 stands at the beginning of a unique success story. For Porsche's 75th anniversary, Head of Design Michael Mauer and his team have completely reinterpreted the great classic. However, the Porsche Vision 357 is also an ambassador for the future of the brand.

Das Treffen 7 in Bangkok was a Porsche lover's colourful dream

Curvistan might be a country of dreams - a mecca for lovers of twisted driving roads - but until February 19th the imaginary state has opened a very real pop-up embassy at the Mandala Club in Singapore that no serious Porsche lover should miss.

CURVES takes to the road in Malaysia. It feels like an alien planet, eons away from our headquarters in Munich, Germany. But maybe we are the alien planet, with our Alpine passes, annual average temperature of 10 degrees, average humidity of 75 percent

They go by the name of Mille Miglia, Targa Florio or Carrera Panamericana and are true cathedrals of the full-throttle cult. In their current formats, however, the focus is no longer on the final result of the race, but on what it’s really all about. And what is that? It’s about the spirit of racing. It’s about the fundamental nature of a time when people still careered over the mountains at breakneck speed and made history in the process.

Luftgekühlt 8 took place at Port of Los Angeles. There is still that unique vibe that makes Luftgekühlt events so special ...

Munich is like the epicenter, the starting point for every one of our CURVES trips. However, while we usually turn the map toward the south as soon as we set out, heading for the Alps, this time we’re taking CURVES in an entirely unfamiliar direction. We’re following a north-east course, toward the low mountain ranges along Germany’s eastern border.

Although our feet have hardly touched the ground since returning from Iceland with the last issue of CURVES, we are continuing our flirtation with the far north. Images from Norway have been haunting our dreams for a long time ...

Onassis-The Factory. The eighth Onassis Porsche Meeting "The Factory" took place this weekend in Wermelskirchen. About 150 Porsches came to »The Factory« meeting on Saturday.

Will the Rimac Concept One be the blue-chip collector car of the future? With Porsche investing in Rimac Automobili and company founder Mate Rimac heading Bugatti, we’re starting to wonder if the Croatian brand’s very first EV hypercar – the Rimac Concept One – has the potential to become the must-have electric collector car of the new Millennium.

With an extended Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este and an even bigger FuoriConcorso featuring Porsche Exclusive and the MAUTO museum from Turin, we might just have witnessed the first edition of a new and promising Como Car Week.

This Porsche pays homage to the golden era of sports cars, to the legendary original 911 and to the ducktail 911 Carrera RS 2.7. And this film says more than 1000 words...

Taken by photographer Hans Truöl in 1960, the iconic black-and-white image “Der Sprung” captured Olympic skier Egon Zimmermann mid-air while jumping across a rubystone red Porsche 356 B ...

The temperature may have been below freezing, and the ice lake slightly treacherous to those ill-equipped in the footwear department, but The ICE has finally proven that it’s the car event to beat.

For 2022 the folks behind GP Ice Race have yet again decided to reformat their festival to an invitation only, purely digital event, focused on producing the most stunning, online imagery possible. Fortunately with an unchanged recipe that still involves epic ice-driving.

Porsche and the Japanese video game development studio Polyphony Digital Inc., a subsidiary of Sony Interactive Entertainment, present a spectacular virtual vehicle concept.

CURVES Switzerland. What magical a reunion with this unique country in the heart of Europe, which is always been synonymous with “the mountains” and, more especially, with “Gran Turismo” – crossing the mountains between north and south in an exercise in which the route itself becomes the reward.

On January 26, 2019, Aksel Lund Svindal, one of the best and most charismatic skiers of all time, announced the end of his career in Kitzbühel. Exactly three years earlier, in the same place, a fall to the edge of the Hausbergkante almost meant that. But despite his serious knee injury and possible long-term consequences, Aksel decides to continue his career with the aim of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

They’re still around, those motor racing monuments of days gone by. They don't take themselves too seriously though these days and after decades of blood, sweat and tears, they want to have more fun than suffering, but when it comes down to it, there is still only one thing that counts – driving flat out.

“Curvistan” is a pop-up store, gallery, event space and hangout, all rolled into one. The first three weeks in “Curvistan” are all about lap times - racing driver watches like the Heuer Monaco meet Steve McQueen's Porsche 908/48.

Running on empty is a feeling we often experience before visiting Iceland’s wonderful Porsche community. We’ve had friends up there going back a long time: Fusi the network specialist, Björki in his garage and Petur, who divides his time between flying a Boeing 757 for Iceland Air and running Porsche Club Iceland. After just a few days in Iceland our batteries have been replenished, as the island acts like a charging station.

Always taking that one extra step: Porsche has restaged the iconic photo of the 356 B model. The Porsche Jump shows two-times Olympic champion Aksel Lund Svindal ski jumping over a Porsche Taycan situated between gigantic walls of snow as high as buildings.

„Schon sehr schade, dass ich bei meiner eigenen Veranstaltung nicht dabei sein kann!“ Wenn man mit Tom Gädtke in diesen Tagen spricht, bemerkt man natürlich sehr große Traurigkeit darüber, dass er wegen seiner Erkrankung bei der Weltausstellung 2021 in Krefeld, der 7. Auflage seines „Streetart.Motorsport.Revival“, nicht mitmachen kann.

On September 3, more than 200 drivers and friends of the air-cooled and also the water-cooled Porsche scene met for a traditional "Pre-Meeting"

The mountain was there yesterday. And it’ll be there tomorrow. It has no interest in us. Its sense of time is geological, we’re little more than a moth that has landed on its broad flanks a moment ago:

The vision of an all-electric customer sports racing car. Right on time for the start of the IAA MOBILITY 2021 in Munich (from 7 to 12 September), Porsche is to provide a spectacular look into the automotive future.

Unter dem Titel „Porsche Unseen“ hatte Porsche gerade erst die Tore zu bislang geheimen Designstudien geöffnet. Für die aktuelle Ramp Style Ausgabe griff Herausgeber Michael Köckritz selbst zur Kamera und fotografierte die Studien im Raum Stuttgart.

The designers at Style Porsche in Weissach journey far into the future of mobility. They think and design visions for the day after tomorrow in order to derive steps for tomorrow. They ask themselves how far they can expand Porsche’s design language and to which products it could be applied.

The mad rush goes on! ... for curves and unforgettable moments on the road. After the overwhelming success of "Cars & Curves" Volume 1, a fireworks of rare models and breathtaking routes on occasion of the 70th Porsche anniversary, Stefan Bogner goes for the next one.

Some pics of my favorite drive in Switzerland

Die Timmelsjoch-Hochalpenstraße ist nicht der schnellste Weg über den Alpenhauptkamm – aber einer der schönsten. Über eine Straße, die Fahrspaß garantiert und zum Anhalten einlädt.

Michael Mauer, director of style at Porsche, and former ski racer Aksel Lund Svindal fly up a snow-covered mountain in a helicopter. This is where the story begins. A conversation about perfect lines and that moment when you intuitively know what’s right.

The next GP Ice Race to feature an audience will not take place again until 2022. But that didn't prevent Ferdi Porsche and the organisers, from testing the snow and doing a few laps on the new ice rink with friends.

Ten years ago, Stefan Bogner's tremendous series of Curves magazines was launched. No less than 16 issues of Curves have been published since then, and just as many books. Co-author Jan Karl Baedeker looks back.

Vier Originale: Dr. Wolfgang Porsche, sein Sohn Ferdinand und zwei Porsche 550 Spyder auf der Großglockner-Hochalpenstraße. Seit Generationen ist die Familie dem Berg verbunden.

For the first time in the recent history, Chief Designer Michael Mauer is opening the secret archives of the Porsche Design Studio in Weissach. In their new book “Porsche Unseen”, Stefan Bogner and Jan Karl Baedeker unveil some of Porsche’s most surprising concept cars.

Im Sommer zieht es sie auf die Rennstrecken dieser Welt, im Winter nach Skandinavien: In der kalten Jahreszeit finden dort spektakuläre Autorennen auf zugefrorenen Seen und vereisten Pisten statt.

Twenty thousand photos, four thousand eight hundred kilometers, five stages, three weeks, Porsche 992 Turbo S Cabrio. These are the technical specifications of the most recent CURVES tour, which took the team through Portugal just a short while ago. And what a tour it was.

It is a special, almost festive feeling to travel with CURVES through Southern Germany. And there’s a good reason: The CURVES crew comes from here. Southern Germany is our home turf. We grew up with the tang of the forests and meadows, with the feeling of sweet lake water in our hair ...

Es gibt Bücher: Kategorie: »Nice to have«, spontaner Kaufimpuls - wandern nach Jahren im Regal ins Kellerabteil. Nächste Kategorie: »Coffee Table« hochwertiges Design und Fotografie trifft auf Inhalt. Irgendwann wandern sie oben ins Regal.

So we slide quietly through Thailand with the new Porsche Taycan - and ask ourselves: What does this machine actually do with our perception?

Letzte Woche war ich in Bayern unterwegs, um für die nächste Ausgabe von Curves die schönsten Straßen Süddeutschlands zu fotografieren, als ich im Radio vom Tod des »Kraftwerk«-Mitgründers Florian Schneider erfuhr.

Der Porsche 924 ist wahrscheinlich nicht das erste Auto, das einem für eine winterliche Rallye ans Nordkap in den Sinn kommt. Doch der Filmemacher David zu Elfe hat seinen Transaxle-Sportwagen dennoch in einen „Wintercamper“ verwandelt – und mit auf den 7.500 Kilometer langen Roadtrip genommen.

The story of this issue of CURVES begins in Bangkok. It begins with a man driving in his Porsche to see a friend. They sit and chat and, at some point, the Porsche driver tosses the key to his 911 to his friend’s son.

The GP Ice race took place for the second time after its debut in 2019 and what we can say: It was the ultimate motorsport festival on ice again!

A great year full of impressions has come to an end.
Here is a compilation of my favorite places and shootings for 2019.

The 904, its full name „Porsche 904 Carrera GTS“, was a special Porsche model in many ways. Due to Ferdinand Porsche‘s unique design, the sports car is affectionately called „Butzi’s masterpiece“ and many still count it among the most appealing road racing cars ever.

The world has known since 2016 for certain that there is an active Porsche scene in Southeast Asia, and we admit it – and are still quite amazed by it all. What really pleases us is above all the circumstances under which the world became aware of this Porsche madness in Asia:

Bags, Toys, Books, Oliveoil, Musicgear, Bikes and more ...

Let’s drive through the Wild West. Once the suggestion is made, images linger in the subconscious mind; majestic sunsets over the desert, the rock towers of Monument Valley, cowboy romanticism.

Surf's up on Sylt - the 2019 Petro-Surf Festival - an air-cooled Porsche event water-cooled by rain.

Sheets of rainwater stream across the road and the jungle is steaming. A green wall of undergrowth, thickets and palm fronds engulfs the narrow strip of asphalt ...

It is the heart and roof of Europe, a watershed and the source of four major rivers, a barrier and link between the North and South. It is the cradle of Switzerland and its fortress.

Ever since the 1950s, the Porsche Speedster has stood for puristic driving fun. Now, Porsche has continued the tradition with the new, limited edition 911 Speedster. These are the highlights from a summit on the Gotthard Pass…

Laid-back Californian style and a brilliantly staged event –Luftgekühlt’s recipe for success is as simple as it is ingenious. It is only logical that the sixth occasion of this unique Porsche event should take place in the Universal Studios in Los Angeles.

A memorable meeting of Teutonic thoroughness and Italian fire, the 356 Carrera GTL Abarth is among the rarest and most beautiful Porsche sports-racing cars

It’s not just America and Europe spearheading the flourishing Porsche movement, you know? Southeast Asia has a particularly vibrant Porsche community, as demonstrated by events such as ‘Das Treffen’ in Bangkok that, like the Stuttgart marque itself, truly transcend the car world...

Don’t get too comfy in front of the fireplace this winter. On 19–20 January 2019, racing cars will finally return to the ice of Zell am See for the GP Ice Race, and we’ve already waxed our skis in preparation for the skijoring…

In reality, of course, the view we have is always of the road stretching out in front of us – over the steering wheel, with our eyes fixed on the pass ahead. Towards the end of the year, however, by way of exception, we take a look in the rear-view mirror. And we have to admit – the Curves Cuvée, 2018 Vintage, looks really good!

The “Großglockner”, Austria’s highest mountain with 3,789 m, is one of the most important summits of the Eastern Alpes – and not only because he is so important for alpine tourism. Already at the end of the 18th Century, he has been explored and nobody less than Arch Bishop Salm-Reiffenscheidt-Krautheim was the first to ascent in 1800.

From exciting concept cars such as the 911 Speedster to extravagant celebrations including that at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, Porsche was always going to mark its 70th birthday in style. But the occasion true Porschephiles were most holding out for was Rennsport Reunion in California…

There was a big surprise at Porsche’s Rennsport Reunion at Laguna Seca yesterday: to celebrate its 70th anniversary, the Zuffenhausen marque has announced a limited-edition racing car built in the spirit of the legendary 935…

In Island erwartet man höher gelegte Landrover, Unimogs oder Expeditionsfahrzeuge. Zum 70jährigem Geburtstag kam alles - vom Porsche Junior bis zum GT2RS. Die Isländer sind immer wieder für eine Überraschung gut.

Munich is already considered to be Italy‘s most northern city – in the very near future, it is also going to be seen as a Californian colony. Because in September this year, the German debut of the “Luftgekühlt” cult event from Los Angeles is to be held in the Bavarian capital.

Eigentlich haben wir ja nur Augen für die schnellen Schönheiten von Porsche. Doch wenn unsere Freunde von Classic Driver in Zürich ihren 20. Geburtstag mit einem limitierten Aston Martin feiern, sollte zumindest ein gedankliches „Seitensprüngli“ erlaubt sein.

How one man’s obsession to detail in legendary lightweight sports cars led to a quiet revolution in the restoration of 911s and the curation of a true classic.

For Porsche enthusiasts, the feeling is the same as it would be for biologists to discover a rare Javan rhinoceros, a South China tiger, a wild panda or a North Island brown kiwi.

At the Dunlop Super Drive this weekend, the ultimate supercars are meeting on the most beautiful mountain passes in the Alps. We take part in a Porsche 718 Boxster GTS – an underdog with amazing handling the skills through the curves.

Porsche may have grown to world fame in Zuffenhausen – it owes its reputation as being the most glamorous and most cultivated of all sports car brands to a large extent, however, to the fans and sponsors on the US West Coast

Für alle Sportwagenfans, die öfter mal das Fernweh packt! Wenn Sie schon immer davon geträumt haben, einmal mit Ihrem Sportwagen über Alpenpässe und Bergstraßen zu jagen, wird Cars & Curvesbei Ihnen für feuchte Hände sorgen.

The Zuffenhausen State of Mind became a global phenomenon, however, only through the millions of loyal drivers and fans, each of whom in a very personal way has made a small contribution to the great Porsche legend.

Er gehört zu den Schmankerln der Porsche 911er, der Carrera 3.2 Speedster von 1989. Er wurde nur wenige Monate gebaut, entsprechend gering die Stückzahl. Von diesem Exemplar in lightgreen gab es nur 3 Stück. Danke Dieter!

With its latest concept car, Porsche is endorsing its “Mission E” plans – and is also making an architectural design statement that encourages free association. A mental journey from Tokyo to Zuffenhausen via Vals.

The ultimate high-performance 911 of its era on snow and ice. A viciously fast ST rally car and an extremely powerful 700 bhp monster known as the GT2 RS, and then on Lake St. Moritz everything suddenly starts moving sideways.

If old cars could talk, this particular Porsche 935 formerly owned by the father-son outfit known as JLP Racing in the 1980s might have some rather more colourful stories to tell than you might imagine. Simon de Burton takes up the tale…
