Porsche Unseen
With global coverage and the first edition sold out in days, ‘Porsche Unseen’ has been one of the most-hyped car books this season. On 328 pages, photographer Stefan Bogner and author Jan Baedeker, our Editor-in-Chief, take their readers on a journey into Porsche’s secret design studios in Weissach, unveiling previously unknown prototypes and design studies that were created by chief designer Michael Mauer and his team.

So brace yourself for neat cars, dirty rockers, electrifying music, astonishing anecdotes and an endless amount of pretty cool, yet totally useless anorak-knowledge.
