A Porsche for the rally stage and the open road, that’s how this couple like it!

Meet Natalia Bożek and Nikos Karampotis, founders of N2.studio, a high impact creative agency where speed runs deeply through their veins. Fuelling their passion for creativity and adventure are their trusty duo of Porsches, a stunning 964 and a Dakar-inspired 944!

Being a perfectionist is the biggest double-edged-sword. On one hand, extra time is put into just about anything to ensure every minute detail is pixel perfect, while on the flip side, it is those minor elements that make something stand out, be it a piece of content, a photograph, or even a car. For partners Natalia Bożek and Nikos Karampotis, founders of N2.studio, perfection is practised in just about everything they put their minds to, and their choice in automobiles is just about as good as it can get. Despite photographing some of the finest cars money can buy and often seen creating eyebrow-raising content at CD Works’ own Rennmeister events, at Villa d’Este, and everything in between, Nikos and Natalia’s two car solution comes in the form of a pair of Porsches with very different attitudes. We caught up with them for a brief chat about their unique cars.

It's great to see you Nikos and Natalia. Please, let us take you back to where it all started, and the moment where you fell in love with cars for the first time…

There’s no single moment — I’ve loved cars for as long as I can remember. The sound, the adrenaline, the feeling of speed and competition… it was always there. But I do remember one specific turning point: when I was 14, I told myself that one day I’d own a 964. That vision stuck with me, and I started saving whatever I could. I’m 33 now — and we’ve had that car for the past 4 years.

So, let’s talk Porsches, and we’ll start with arguably the most eye-catching of the pair – this is no ordinary Porsche 944, right?

“We call it the Dakarista – this project is close to my heart. It started with a Porsche 944 Turbo, which we transformed into something that pays tribute to the Dakar rally cars of the 1980s. I’ve always been drawn to that era: the raw engineering, the adventurous spirit. The car was fully reworked – lifted suspension, off-road tires, rally lights, custom interior touches – all in the spirit of vintage motorsport. It’s meant to look the part but also be fully capable off-road. Since sharing stories online with the car, it’s been incredible to see how much people connected with it. For us, the car is more than just a passion project – it’s also part of a long-term investment approach. We see value in well-built, purpose-driven classics, especially those with a unique narrative.”

And from the dirt roads to driving euphoria, all 964s are special, but tell us about yours…

“This one is more personal. It was my dream car growing up – specifically this model. Four years ago, Natalia and I made the decision to sell our daily driver and go all in on something special. She actually encouraged me to go for it, and I’m glad we did. We found a well-preserved example and took our time making it our own.”

Nikos continues, “It’s become part of our everyday life in a way – from road trips to spontaneous drives on quiet evenings. And like the 944, we also consider this car an investment. These cars hold their value, and the connection people feel to the 964 generation is only getting stronger.”

Seemingly traveling 24/7, this creative duo have undoubtably capture some jaw-droppping content along the way. We asked Nikos what is favourite car and location he’s shot so far…

Luftgekühlt, without a doubt. It’s not just the cars — it’s the way the whole team works to curate the environment. Thanks to Jeff Zwart and the crew, every single car is positioned with photographic intention. It completely changes the way you shoot — instead of chasing good angles, you’re choosing between several perfect ones. It pushed us creatively in the best way.

Something we always like to do with The Classic Drivers series is ask owners their dream three car garage, and we suspect Nikos’ might include a Porsche or two. Are we correct? 

If we're talking no limitations here, it would have to be a Porsche Carrera GT, McLaren F1 and a Bugatti EB110 SS, because you just would, wouldn't you?

As we head into a non-stop, event-filled summer season, we were curious to find out what adventures Nikos and Natalia have with their Porsches…

The 964 is staying in the family. One day, our son will inherit it and decide what to do next — maybe he’ll be into the same things we are, maybe he’ll take it in a new direction. The 944 “Dakarista” was originally going to be sold next year, but… we’ll see. This season, we’ve got two road trips planned. One of them will take us up to the Grossglockner this summer. The other? Still a bit of a secret for now
