CARS AND CURVES

Porsches and alpine passes. What a combination. Stefan Bogner’s new book celebrates both courtesy of breathtaking photos of the most beautiful alpine passes populated by some of our favourite Porsches. From the 1960s Porsche 906 to the modern Carrera GT and beyond, it’s a pictorial tribute to 70 years of Porsche. Each shot was elaborately staged, some even using a helicopter, and images were captured as far afield as the USA, Switzerland, France, Iceland, Germany, Scotland, Denmark, Italy and Austria. That’s not all. The stellar photography is complemented by captivating captions and comments by Ben Winter. The theme of the text revolves around hunting curves and driving for the sheer thrill of it. Cars & Curves: A Tribute to 70 Years of Porsche (ISBN 10: 3667112939) is available now for £35.
