“The SC represents much more than a simple object. It’s a passion, an investment in myself, and a real tool for my photography work.”⁠
⁠
Owning a vintage car often turns into a bit of a personal photography project, but where most are happy with the occasional phone camera snap, takes things a step further with his Porsche 911 SC. In the time he’s had it, Loïc’s car has developed a whole cinematic identity within his broader photography portfolio, with each outing seemingly another opportunity for a photoshoot.⁠
⁠
“I knew I absolutely wanted a grey one” says Loïc, speaking to Type 7. “It’s a French car, all original, and it had that little something unique that spoke to me right away. The colour is a blueish grey and the unusual interior immediately caught my eye.⁠
⁠
I’ve really used it daily, not just on weekends. In eight months I put 36,000 kilometres on it between road trips and everyday use. I bought it with my current partner, we’ve shared incredible moments in it, shooting films and taking photos together. Of course we’re going to shoot more, films and photos in a variety of settings. The car really is part of me, and part of the three of us - my partner and her daughter Tallulah. We built this project together, which makes it that much more special.”⁠

In Huizhou’s ancient Qiaodong district, a narrow and dilapidated ancestral home has been rebuilt as a compact, climate-tuned dwelling by local design house Republic Construction Architecture Studio. The result is a thoughtful renewal, where as many walls as possible are preserved and were strengthened, while a new curved roof with skylights helps to keep the tight plot feel airy - a perfect renewal that will allow the family to continue living here for centuries to come 💭⁠

Within a disused ice factory in Mexico City, have put together what might be one of our favourite offices that we have seen in some time. ⁠
⁠
They’re not the first architects to take the approach, with Spain’s Ricardo Bofill perhaps being the definitive example, but the effect is magical regardless. Much like that classic approach, the architects here have done everything in their power to keep the factory a factory. ⁠
⁠
The original steel pillars, pipes, catwalks and metal curtains are still in use, and the rough concrete and surviving tilework have been carefully repaired rather than replaced, right down to a wedge cut in the north wall. The renovation functions on a self-sufficient water cycle, with the rain harvested, treated and reused on site, alongside solar power, proving that you don’t have to tear it all down to make something special 🏭⁠

30/11/2025

“As we focused on our goal of returning to full-time sports car competition, we worked closely with the Porsche team in Weissach to understand the new Hypercar formula and how we could work together to build a new program to compete on a global scale. We announced the formation of Penske Porsche Motorsport in May of 2021 and we have been on the throttle ever since, developing, racing - and winning - with the Porsche 963 program.”⁠

Though gave the Stuttgart car community plenty to keep busy over the summer, who could blame them for wanting to escape the gloom of a Baden-Württemberg autumn by rounding off the year somewhere a little warmer. Sardinia was the destination for the first Heizr Driving Club escape, bringing a 13 car convoy from Stuttgart to the Mediterranean island to hit some winding, deserted coastal roads and pristine beaches.⁠
⁠
All along the route were planned pit stops to soak in the dolce vita; coastal panoramas, a lunch on a family-owned orange farm, and stops for aperitif 🍹

29/11/2025

Widely regarded as one of - if not the most - challenging rally on the global events calendar, this event was used as a demonstration of the versatility and durability of the Porsche 911. The 1978 East Africa Rally was one of the most notorious of all, and Porsche was the only full-team entry, with a remarkable 2nd place overall finish for Vic Preston Junior and co-driver John Lyall, while Björn Waldegård and Hans Thorszelius finished in fourth, a result made all the more special due to them replacing the entire rear axle and subframe in the middle of a stage, far from any support.⁠
⁠
The route book for the event - annotated, dog-eared, and complete with safari illustrations, has been preserved ever since as part of the Porsche Corporate Archive.⁠

F. A. Porsche might be renowned for designing the very first Porsche 911, but to us, his work in founding is just as significant, and it all comes together at Porsche Design Tower Bangkok 🏙️⁠
⁠
This show unit reveals how Studio F. A. Porsche’s philosophy of optimizing function while reducing form to its pure essentials can translate effortlessly into living space. Clean lines, engineered materials, and a calm, disciplined palette create a sense of precision that feels unmistakably Porsche.⁠
⁠
If you know how to look, almost every detail hints back to the marque: the X-Frame structural language draws from Mission R, the kinetic façade system is inspired by the 911 Targa’s roof, and the private garage or “Passion Space” turns a car collection into part of the architecture. Even the flow of the duplex - its volumes and the way that sightlines work through the space - aim to represent the logic of a sports car cockpit.⁠
⁠
This is the first Porsche Design Tower in Asia, and it’s going to be limited to just 22 Sky Villas. Each comes with private pools, professional-grade kitchens, and direct private lift access.⁠
