teNeues · Michael Köckritz

The Porsche myth – finally presented the way it deserves to be.

304 pages. 250 colour photographs. A book that does not explain Porsche – it lets you feel it. Michael Köckritz, journalist, artist and passionate Porsche driver, has created the most comprehensive coffee table book ever dedicated to the Stuttgart legend: from design history to motorsport, from the Porsche 911 to the latest Macan.

Glossy imagery, exclusive design sketches, technical details of every production model and insider interviews – The Porsche Book is the definitive work for Porsche enthusiasts.

Avant-garde layout, breathtaking photography and expertly crafted texts – The Porsche Book brings together everything that defines the Porsche brand: luxury, lifestyle, motorsport history and the unmistakable feeling of driving a Porsche. Exclusive design sketches offer a behind-the-scenes look at how the models came to be, while fascinating technical details illuminate the engineering mastery behind the icons.

Expert interviews with insiders from the Porsche universe round out the work – making it more than a photo book: a piece of automotive cultural history. Created in the spirit of ramp, the automotive culture magazine founded by Köckritz and internationally recognised as a benchmark for style.

Michael Köckritz is a journalist, author, artist and media maker – and above all: a passionate Porsche driver. As publisher and editor-in-chief of the automotive culture magazine ramp, the men's lifestyle magazine rampstyle and the design magazine ramp.design, he has built an international reputation. His publications are regularly recognised with national and international awards.

Only someone who truly drives and understands Porsche can capture the fascination of the brand in words and images. Köckritz does exactly that – with the effortless lightness that is his trademark.

Anyone who opens The Porsche Book quickly realises: this is not a coffee table book you look at once and put away. Owners report returning to it again and again -- for a photo series one time, an interview or a design sketch another. "It's the only book on my coffee table that guests ask about unprompted," writes one buyer. Those who give it as a gift give something with presence and substance -- a book that immediately makes clear why it belongs where it is.
