Over the summer, the stream of automotive news barely seemed to slow down, with plenty of very cool and impressive cars by multiple brands being launched. Just weeks and sometimes even days apart we got to see new cars from Tuthill, Rimac, Aston Martin and more. We couldn’t explore each one in detail, so we […]
From the undulating hills an hour west of the famous Silverstone race track in the UK, come cars that are beyond belief. Nestled in the picturesque town of Wardington, Oxfordshire, is Tuthill Porsche, a company that’s been rather busy perfecting early Porsche 911s. Under the slogan “The Porsche 911, as it was intended” Tuthill prepares […]
On the occasion of Porsche launching the 911 992.2 Hybrid, Porsche Design introduced a new watch collection to its custom-built program. Mechanically based on the previous generation of the Globetimer, Porsche Design now puts it in the titanium case of the chronograph.

If I were to ask you what the greatest American-made supercar is, what would your answer be? The Corvette? The Viper? The Saleen S7 perhaps? Very likely, but I bet a few of you will immediately think of Gerald Wiegert and his Vector cars. Although it wasn’t meant to be for various reasons, you can’t […]

Have we lost the plot? Are we abandoning watches? No, of course not, but this time around the Petrolhead Corner is serving up something very special. Yet with us, watches are never far away as we will be going over the connection between Porsche, the car manufacturer and Porsche Design. How? By looking at two […]
Ninety years in the making, Audi has done something extremely cool! They’ve taken a concept that was never brought to life and finally built it. It’s called the Auto Union Type 52 Schnellsportwagen, and it’s basically the wildest Autobahn cruiser you can ever imagine! It’s a bit of an exaggeration saying it was ’90 years […]
For the second week running, I’m going to cover the fast-paced world of Formula 1, as I was lucky enough to be invited by H. Moser & Cie and the BWT Alpine F1 team for a factory tour and a one-day visit to the 2024 Silverstone Grand Prix. For those who have been following our […]
