This exquisite book is a monograph of Reka Nyari, one of the most renowned erotic female photographers at this moment.

She has always been attracted to erotica and the adult world of sexuality. When she went to art school it was natural for her to combine this fascination for fleshliness with her obsession to create. In her pictures, she tells stories that stimulate the mind, while her treatment of black and white as well as colour is astonishing.

Nyari feels most comfortable shooting women, due to the sisterly atmosphere on the set. But don't worry, the result is amazingly sexy…

Walter Röhrl, World Rally Champion in 1980 and 1982, remains one of Germany`s most popular sportsmen, even years after retiring from professional motor racing. Several of his battles and achievements, like being a four-time Rallye Monte Carlo winner, riding the 550 hp-cannonball Audi Quattro or demoralizing his opponents with unbelivable stage times, have become legends. Röhrl still enjoys a high reputation as an authority in sports car questions and as a person who calls a spade a spade.

After having released his memories in 2002 in the book "Diary", he now presents his new illustrated book "Rückspiegel" (engl.: rearview mirror). 256 pages with more than 300 mostly unpublished photographies show dramatic, cheerful and horrifying moments of his career. The first chapter features Röhrls life as it is today: It`s about family, friendships, the fascinating work as a test driver and representative of Porsche, it`s about the aging of a highly competitve athlete.

In his foreword Walter Röhrl tells the readers about the historic picture-work:

"To the younger ones amongst you the historic sport might seem adventurous, dangerous, wild, even insane. Believe me: that`s exactly what it was."

Drag racing is a down-to-earth form of motor sport that is both accessible and affordable. It fascinates an ever-growing community of fans from around the world.

This has partly to do with the sport itself, but certainly also with drag racing's very individual brand of aesthetics when it comes to the cars and the people who drive, repair and admire them. Drag racing is a mix of uproariously loud, primordial displays of power and high-tech; its drivers love the sport but flirt openly with destruction and putting their lives in danger.

Speed Kings presents photographs by Dirk Behlau that skillfully capture the adrenalin-fuelled atmosphere of suspense on and alongside the track, as well as the eroticism of the machines and the people who give their lives for a few seconds of the ultimate kick.

Start your engines!

Lange musste die große Gemeinde der Porsche-Fans warten, doch nun ist es endlich da: Das erste Buch über die gesamte Porsche-Speedster Story. Das Buch entstand in enger Zusammenarbeit mit dem historischen Archiv der Porsche AG und erscheint am 01.09.2011. Den Namen Porsche Speedster durften seit dem Bestehen der Firma Porsche bisher nur vier Serienmodelle tragen. Seit jeher limitiert in der Auflage und schwer verfügbar, stehen Sammler und Autoliebhaber Schlange, um einen dieser seltenen Klassiker zu erwerben. Viele Mythen weben sich um die Legende des Porsche Speedster. Nach dem großen Erfolg des ersten 356 Speedster aus dem Jahre 1954 wurde erst 1989 wieder ein Porsche 911 Speedster produziert. Dieses Modell war aber schon vor seiner Produktion komplett ausverkauft und daher startete Porsche schon wenige Jahre später die dritte Auflage des Speedster als Typ 964. Im Jahre 2010 erfreute Porsche erneut die Fans und Sammler mit einer limitierten Serie von nur 356 Exemplaren des 997 Speedster. Neben den Serientypen geht dieses Buch zudem intensiv auf die Entstehungsgeschichte, Prototypen und Einzelstücke wie den 993 Speedster ein, der eigens für Ferdinand Alexander Porsche zum Geburtstag gebaut wurde. Neben originalen Verkaufsprospekten, Preislisten und internen Dokumenten werden auch bisher unveröffentlichte Fotos aus dem Porsche-Archiv gezeigt.

The dramatic shapes of Porsche’s most successful sports cars are the subjects of this lavish book by renowned photographer and Porsche racer Jeff Zwart. During a recent Rennsport Reunion at Daytona International Speedway Jeff constructed a temporary studio to photograph more than 125 cars. Every sports-car model type from every decade is represented, from the first Porsche built in 1948 (356-001) through the 2004 GT3 RSR. Each chapter is introduced by a factory driver from that period, which includes Herbert Linge, Dan Gurney, Brian Redman, Derek Bell, Hurley Haywood, and Sascha Maassen.

These historic Porsches are accompanied by their chassis numbers and brief specifications, and presented in chapters organized by decade. Every car is featured in profile, often accompanied by a front view—a consistent presentation that encourages comparisons between types. Jeff’s highly detailed, super-saturated color images capture characteristic silhouettes, famous racing liveries, and arresting individual details. Such is the quality of the images and reproduction that one can see individual stone chips in the paintwork, battle scars from the world’s most demanding circuits.

The concept and execution of this photography project so impressed Porsche that the factory has supported and approved this book, and it carries an official Porsche part number.

The Publisher’s Edition of Porsche Prototype Era: 1964-1973 in Photographs is limited to 300 copies signed by author Bill Oursler andfive of Porsche’s greatest drivers: Richard Attwood, Derek Bell, Vic Elford, George Follmer, and Brian Redman. Each driver’s major Porsche sports car victories from this era are listed beneath their names on the bookplate. This series is limited to 300 copies.

In a highly focused ten-year period, Porsche transformed itself and sports car racing by raising performance to heights not dreamed of. Porsche’s sports cars went from being regular but comparatively humble winners in the GT class to become completely dominant in the top category, international prototype race cars. This was a time of nonstop development mixed with turmoil and success under the direction of Dr. Ferdinand Piëch, widely considered one of the great automotive minds of the modern era.

Beginning with the fiberglass-bodied 904, which proved nearly unbeatable in the two liter class during 1964 and 1965, and continuing through the all-conquering turbocharged 917/30 Can-Am spyder of Mark Donohue, which utterly crushed its opposition in 1973, this beautifully presented volume provides a vivid photographic history of Porsche’s relentless quest for victory. Evocative images combine with knowledgeable commentary and historical overviews to offer insights into the men and machines of this glorious era. The book also includes some of the lesser-known, but equally important sports-racers, such as the ultralight hillclimb spyders, whose technology can still be seen in today’s prototypes.

Porsche Prototype Era will take you back in time to experience the classic circuits, revolutionary designs, heroic drivers, and aggressive competition that defined a golden age in sports car racing.

Spread over 250 pages are some 300 images taken by a man who was intimately involved with this world. By far the majority of these photographs have never before been published. Ludvigsen provides a knowledgeable and entertaining commentary on each, together with a year-by-year overview of the activities of Porsche during these exciting early years. The early Fifties were the dramatic formative years of Porsche, which was founded as a sports-car producer in 1948. The first-ever Porsche car scored a race victory that same year. Porsche's first effort at Le Mans in 1951 brought a class victory, and Le Mans was destined to remain a major target for Porsche's racers in the future. With the arrival of the fabled 550 Spyders in 1953 Porsche scored class victories on all continents with such drivers as Stirling Moss, Hans Herrmann and Richard von Frankenberg. As well, during these years Porsche developed and expanded its range of sports cars for the road. Included in the book are: Exciting and evocative scenes from the great sports-car races, rallies, road races and hill climbs: Monza, Berne, the Nurburgring, the Mille Miglia, Monte Carlo, Reims and others. Behind-the-scenes views of the Porsche factory and the building of these great cars. The Porsche road cars in their environment and at the great Salons of Paris, Turin and Geneva. Porsche people, including Ferry Porsche, his engineers and his drivers.

Le nom de la prestigieuse marque de Newport Pagnell est inscrit en lettres d'or dans la grande histoire de l'automobile.
