For the first time, a book is dedicated to what is probably the most creative body variant of the iconic Porsche 911 sports car. What began as a clever reaction to an increased need for safety in the 1960s quickly became a brand in its own right, the original term for a new type of vehicle.
Porsche Targa sheds light on the motivation behind the body concept, reveals the development process, takes through the evolution of seven generations of 911 and shows the transfer of the Targa idea to its brand colleagues 914, Carrera GT and 918 Spyder. We dig deep into the archives, celebrate contemporary coloring, browse through historical photo albums of the Targa Florio endurance race – the inspiration for the name of the sports car once advertised as a “safety cabriolet”.
Historical design sketches and photos, highly aesthetic imagery and elaborate productions provide in-depth yet entertaining insights into the impressive history of this special Porsche.
Porsche Targa is a sophisticatedly-designed standard work. Colorful and cheerful – like the Targa itself.
After his last book Escapes, Stefan Bogner returns to the Alps again with this illustrated book. This time not only did he photograph particular routes, but he looked for the ideal tour through the Alps: 3 countries, 14 passes – the perfect little escape for 4 days.
Different from Bogner s photographs in Escapes or Curves, where Bogner just presents dreamlike empty streets, Porsche Drive focuses on the journey in Porsche models such as Porsche 906, Porsche 911, Porsche 918 and more. Stefan Bogner drives his own Porsche 911 1970 ST.
Apart from Bogner’s photographs, Porsche Drive offers information on each route and height profile. Thus you can follow Bogner’s itinerary on a long weekend.

What came first – the Porsche or the Beetle? Which Porsche racing car set every world record in the very year it was first presented in racing at Monza? And who is “Sascha”?
Immerse yourself in the unique and visionary world of Porsche: in tales of secret prototypes, fascinating photos from the Porsche archives, magic words such as “Carrera” and inside stories that have never yet been told in this way.
Since the foundation of the Porsche design office 75 years ago, the archive has been part of the company and the Porsche brand. It is the company’s memory and database, filled with hundreds of thousands of exhibits. As a result, not every item on the inventory list can be shown to museum visitors. For the first time in their history, the Zuffenhausen-based company is presenting 100 extraordinary and often previously unseen exhibits from the depths of the company archive.
In close cooperation with experts and historians from the Porsche Corporate Archives, automotive journalist and Porsche expert Jan-Henrik Muche has compiled a selection of the most interesting archive documents and exhibits and tells their amazing stories. Specially taken photos are flanked by historical footage and never-before-seen photographs from the archive.

In eight chapters the richly illustrated car book depicts the development of the first genuine off-road 911. From the historic genes at the Porsche development center in Weissach to the extensive test drives of the sports car on various continents – a piece of living automobile history.

For forty years, Inez van Lamsweerde (b. 1963) & Vinoodh Matadin (b. 1961) have redefined the boundaries of photography. This iconic duo, born in the Netherlands and hailed worldwide for their fearless fusion of art, fashion, and portraiture, have created a body of work that is as visually seductive as it is intellectually disruptive. Throughout, they have embraced innovation, but without letting technology take over their narrative.
Inez & Vinoodh continue to collaborate with leading fashion designers and luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chloé, and Chanel, while also producing striking covers and editorials for acclaimed publications, including Vogue, Rolling Stone, W Magazine, and Gentlewoman.
Acting as both mirror and magnifying glass, their photography not only draws from popular culture but also critiques it, uncovering a complex mingling of the familiar and the unsettling, the quotidian and the uncanny. Philosopher Simone Weil’s definition of truly seeing—“Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity”—lies at the heart of Can Love Be a Photograph, spanning four decades of the couple’s life and work together.
In addition to over 150 photographs by Inez & Vinoodh, this book includes written contributions by Mathias Augustyniak, Guus Beumer, Francesco Bonami, Pamela Chen, Donatien Grau, Margriet Schavemaker, and Willemijn van der Zwaan, as well as a wide-ranging conversation with Tilda Swinton.
Publication accompanying the exhibition Can Love Be a Photograph – 40 Years of Inez & Vinoodh, at Kunstmuseum Den Haag from March 21 to September 6, 2026.

The modifier b+b Auto, founded in Frankfurt, 1973 by Rainer Buchmann and his brother Dieter, caused a stir in the European and international car scene of the ’80s. Their technical innovations and spectacular design made them stand apart from the crowd.
Initially focussed on Porsche cars, b+b established themselves as a name to be remembered when they presented their Porsche Turbo Targa with prismatic coloured varnish at the Polaroid stand on Fotokina 1976 Cologne. At IAA Frankfurt 1979 they launched b+b CW 311, a contemporary modification of the legendary Mercedes 300 SL. Mercedes-Benz was so enthusiastic about the car that they allowed Buchmann to continue using the Mercedes star as a brand logo. During the 1980s, b+b was one of the most successful modifiers of production cars. They transformed off-the-line automobiles into individualized luxury vehicles for those who could afford it – customers from the Arab world, celebrities from the Jet-Set, and many more…
However Buchmann’s real passion belonged to the area of electronic innovations. The money he earned with his tuning activities was invested into research in this field. He was the first to think about centralized door locking by means of remote control as well as park distance control and he invented the first car computers. In 1983 his multi-function steering wheel was protected by patent. This comprehensive book, produced in close cooperation with Merck Group, one of the world’s leading chemical companies for whom Buchmann popularized a new and special kind of bright enamel varnish, presents the complete history of Rainer Buchmann’s technical and entrepreneurial achievements.
