Interview

Fireworks for the senses. With a power unit. This Ferrari 512 BB Competizione as a Le Mans conversion is not user-friendly despite being road-legal. What's more, the driver seems irrelevant. And a passenger is a nuisance anyway. Which makes the car something very special. And so we leave the year 2023 behind us.

Between the years is exactly the right time to reflect a little: on what you have achieved and what you want to achieve in the coming twelve months. We're happy to do so - and therefore look back on five highlights of our ramp year.

Jude Law celebrates his 51st birthday today - and we congratulate him with a very good interview he recently gave us. He spoke openly about his personal happiness, the massive self-doubt that used to plague him and his goal of continuing to make the most of his opportunities.

AXEL MEISE, the founder and chief designer of lighting company Occhio, has a clear idea of what his lamps and lighting systems should achieve: they should make people feel good. The sixty-one-year-old’s definition of good design is just as simple: It should provide years of enjoyment.

Happiness? You can force it. Through hard work, for example. Says Montez. The twenty-nine-year-old is not only one of the most successful songwriters in Germany at the moment, he’s also an entrepreneur passionately realizing new ideas.

Volkswagen is a multi-brand group. Each brand is to have a unique appearance - and the respective design is to be given a holistic meaning. This was emphasised yesterday by Group Chairman Oliver Blume at the Volkswagen Group Design Night. We spoke exclusively with him and the Head of Group Design, Michael Mauer.

When it comes to brand experiences, especially in the luxury sector, people like to talk about the customer journey. But what exactly is this customer journey? A good person to ask is Matteo Atti. After all, his job is all about sending people on a journey – by private jet.

A Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 and a somewhat surprising headline at first glance. But then it fits damn well. How did we come up with it? The owner explained it to us.

Stefan Buescher was appointed CEO of Porsche Lifestyle Group last summer, so if you want to know what makes the brand tick and what defines the Porsche way of life, he’s your man. We thought we’d go ask him in person.

How has men’s fashion changed over the past few decades and what challenges does the fashion industry face? We asked JAN MANGOLD, managing director at Windsor. We also talked about the size of his closet at home.

Stéphane Lenglin penned the design of the Porsche 963 Le Mans prototype. That’s rather unusual, given the fact that this is a performance-oriented racing car and Lenglin is not an aerodynamic engineer but a designer. But that’s typically Porsche. How so? In our interview, he tells us all about it.

Toan Nguyen has been called the “wunderkind of the advertising industry” for his pioneering and professional approach to subcultures that combines gaming, science fiction and fantasy with big-name brands, one example being the collaboration between Haribo and Super Mario. You could also say that his inspirations have playfully transformed the world of marketing. In our interview with the thirty-seven-year-old entrepreneur, we talked about niches, his road to success and why the CUPRA brand had already caught his eye some time ago. (Hint: It has something to do with gaming.)

Almost exactly 60 years ago, Ferruccio Lamborghini was of the clear opinion that there was a technically better solution for the clutch in his Ferrari. In general, he had his own very specific ideas about the technical demands that should be placed on such a sports car if it ...

It’s not every day that someone starts jamming with a high school friend, works on it long enough and becomes successful. That, in a nutshell, is the story of Dan ­Auerbach and The Black Keys.
