There are the stay-at-homes and the wanderers. The homebodies and the adventurers. The cautious and the bold. – We probably belong to the second category, and the fact that you’ve opened this book could be a compelling sign that you’re on our team as well. Yes, out there, you get skinned knees, scraped elbows, and homesickness, and yet we always have to go out again, following our noses, with a large dose of wanderlust as our compass. In this edition of PORSCHE CURVES, you’ll encounter legends from the 1950s, classics from the seventies and eighties, and glorious high-tech Porsche machines of modern times. Sometimes they’re out on the same drive together – because a bloodline runs between the Porsche 550 Spyder, 914/6, 930 Turbo, 928, Cayenne, 918 Spyder, and the current 911 Dakar that defines what Porsche is all about. By the way, you don’t need to translate the Porsche spirit; even though it’s typically German in its dry, unpretentious way, it’s understandable in every culture. We’ve experienced it ourselves around the globe: the community speaks Porsche, from the USA to Iceland to New Zealand, from Patagonia to Singapore. The enthusiasm for Porsche is the same everywhere. The collection of snapshots before you is packed with moments: We begin in the crystal-clear light of the North, where a car named “Dakar” shows in Iceland that Porsche has a hot answer to the challenges of the ice desert. And then there are the Alps, our living room and eternal favorite space, the mountains where CURVES was born and still calls home. With Patagonia, our great Alpine drives have found a powerful blood brother. The journey in the off-road Cayenne over gravel roads to the glaciers of the South still drifts through our daydreams. Split-second memories filled with piercing wanderlust – we relive them once again on the pages of this PORSCHE CURVES edition.
