"The last car built on earth will surely be a sports car.", Ferry Porsche once said.
The question I'm asking myself right now: Will it be an electric sports car - or with a combustion engine?
What's your take on it?

The Porsche 550 Spyder has seen numerous variations in its basic appearance over the course of production.
Some changes were subtle, such as the position and number of radiator grilles, while others were more radical, especially on the first prototypes. In addition, most of the Spyders were modified to meet the specific requirements of the races in which it participated.
The build process was typical of the low-volume cars of the time: each panel was hand-built by skilled aluminum craftsmen at the Wendler body shop in Reutlingen, Germany, using wooden trestles to keep differences between bodies to a minimum. But it could not be avoided with the manual work over the whole production period that differences arose.
Most Spyders have also been thoroughly restored and modified after strenuous racing.
There really is no such thing as a 100% identical 550 Spyder.

Automotive culture is one of the most significant achievements in the development of the world. Inseparable from automotive culture is its social and societal impact and has become part of our social identity.
Creativity, design, art Inspiration and inventiveness have characterized the history of the automobile from the very beginning, represented by the engineering art of earlier days, the masterly craftsmanship of trades that are now partly extinct.
In my view, the public should be made aware of the importance of historic vehicles and their history.
As a cultural asset, it should continue to be experienced and protected on our roads, craft traditions should be preserved, and social expressions in its environment should be revived.
What do you think about protecting classic cars as an intangible UNESCO World Heritage?

The world of design has changed drastically. Graphics, product design, interior design and art are in constant interaction with each other.
There are walls all around us. And between them and man are objects that we have created. The trend shows that these objects are now migrating, either towards the wall – or towards us.
The televisions that used to be so bulky have given way to flat devices that we hang on the wall.
The heavy old house telephones, on the other hand, have come to us and nestle in our hands.
HiFi stereo systems? Are either wandered to the wall or in the ear. Light, air conditioning, etc. are oriented towards the walls.
From a design point of view, our world is becoming cleaner, more orderly and simpler.
The shape of a Porsche is something of a constant: it has always been orderly, simple, flawless.
A haven of beauty for our eyes in this exuberant world. The lines follow the idea of ideal sports car proportions. Timeless design for eternity.

I am convinced that my 550 Spyder or even my 930 Turbo will outlive all the electric cars currently being built.
How long will an electric car last? 10 years? 15 years?
How expensive will repairs be for older electric cars? Is it worth replacing the battery after 10 years? From my experience mostly control units make problems after 10-15 years. Repair of complex and sometimes very expensive control units is almost impossible.
Is it sustainable to operate a vehicle for only 15 years?
Oldtimer combustion engine can usually be repaired very easily and cheaply. A lift and a little expertise is usually enough to accomplish most repairs.
Many classic cars also retain their value. Most of them even become more valuable over the years if you take care of them accordingly.
Is it not perhaps much more sustainable to drive classic cars than to produce new electric cars?
Especially since developments in the field of synthetic fuels are making great progress.
What do you think about this?

There's some semblance of method to my madness. I've long held the belief that roads and cars are best experienced in solitude.
Don't get me wrong; road trips and group drives with friends are great, but there's always the danger of being goaded into pushing that bit too hard and ending the day getting intimate with the flora and fauna, or getting stuck in too much traffic.
No, every so often, you need to just get up and drive, on your own!
No distractions, no rushing, no traffic, no defined destination in sight.
Just driving for no reason other than pure enjoyment.
Dry, cold and clear. Perfect conditions to observe the sun light up the countryside on another summer morning at 5am.

More people like me are realizing that technological change in driving a modern car can mean the loss of something valuable.
"Analog" cars, i.e., vehicles with few or no electronic driving aids are desirable.
It is an authentic honest and genuine driving experience.
Who appreciates this driving experience can not avoid the purchase of a classic car.
This new hype a good thing. It means that people have not forgotten what richness only a classic car can offer.
Never stop driving! 🫶🏻🎩

I am sure you’ve played this game before, but it’s just too fun not to revisit once in a while—if you’re anything like me. 😁
Here are the rules: you’ve recently inherited 8 million euros from your favorite great aunt, but she’s stipulated in her will you’re only allowed to spend the money on three classic cars.
She further elaborates that one must be a daily driver, one a weekend toy, and the third a track machine, with any remaining moneys forfeited to Animal welfare organization. 🐹
Personally, my dream fleet would Include a
- 30 years old MERCEDES G-CLASS 500 LWB (W463) as daily driver
- a PORSCHE Carrera GT as weekend toy and
- of course a 1955 PORSCHE 550 RS SPYDER.
What’s in your three-classic car garage?

I love balmy evenings and long nights. Especially the ones where the heat is on.
A feverish mood is in the air. Then the time is perfect for a trip through the night.
Lonely on empty winding roads. You feel the adrenaline in every curve.
Moments that make you feel you are alive.

1955 Porsche 550/1500 RS Spyder. Porsche's legendary four-cam sports racer, with coachwork by Wendler Reutlingen.
Inspired by the work and design philosophy of Ferry Porsche, son of founder Ferdinand Porsche, and designed by Wilhelm Hild.
The Porsche 550 Spyder is definitely one of the most beautiful examples of streamlined car design.
Beautifully conceived and executed, the racecar is a picture-perfect masterpiece.
I am obsessed by this pure design.
