A New Yorker’s Pagoda.

Brushed metal, soft light, and that unmistakable Paul Bracq silhouette.

Christian’s 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL, photographed against the sculptural curves of Zaha Hadid’s architecture, proves how timeless design can quietly hold its own.

One of those cars that looks right, even standing still.

Giugiaro’s lines, Bertone’s touch… 👌🏽

Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV with brown interior just feels like honey.
Soundtrack by Tosca, naturally.

The Porsche 986 Boxster—love it or not—defined a moment. Mid-engine layout, manual gearbox, and those unmistakable fried egg headlights. A proper response to the small roadster era, but with Stuttgart DNA.

Built-in telephone? Shaggy’s “It Wasn’t Me” on repeat? Yeah, it was that kind of time.

Paul Bracq at his cleanest. 🙌🏽👌🏽

The Mercedes-Benz W108 traded fins for finesse—lower roofline, larger glasshouse, and just the right amount of chrome. It was Bracq’s first major design for Mercedes, and it set the tone for every flagship sedan that followed.

Over 380,000 were built, but it still feels understated in the best way.
Classic lines, real presence, and a cabin trimmed in wood and leather that still holds its own.

With the restoration of his Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale finally complete, Phillip set out to reconnect the car with the spirit of the era it came from. That journey led to one of Berlin’s most iconic architectural landmarks—the Philharmonie—where we had the chance to photograph the car in a rare moment of stillness.

“I had the museum to myself. Just me, the car, and this vast, concrete silence. The reflections, the lines—it all felt like the car belonged there. Like it was waiting to be photographed.”

The SS, originally found through a Sotheby’s auction, underwent a full restoration led by master craftsmen Siegmar Prätor and Christian Schmidt, bringing it back from beneath years of hidden damage. Now, it stands not just as a survivor—but as a statement.

“I didn’t want a showpiece. I just wanted it done right. I’ll drive it. That’s the point.”

Ferrari Friday at Carphiles & Coffee ☕️🏎️l

A few years ago, a Ferrari Testarossa and a 550 Maranello set the tone for an unforgettable morning at Carphiles & Coffee. Two icons, one perfect setting.

Maybe it’s time to do it again? Who’s in?

996.1 or 996.2? Two generations of the Porsche 996 side by side—the early model with its distinct oval headlights and the later facelift with a sharper, more streamlined front end. Subtle changes, but enough to divide opinions among enthusiasts. ✌🏽🙌🏽

Standing before the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR at the Mercedes-Benz Museum, I had a rare moment—just me, the car, and the silence of an empty hall. Grey on grey, the soft light reflecting off the curves, perfectly blending with the raw concrete surroundings.

One of a kind. A car that carries history in every detail—built for speed, sculpted with purpose, and forever linked to motorsport’s most defining moments. Seeing it up close is something else. The proportions, the presence, the way it commands the space—it’s more than a machine; it’s art. 🙌🏽

Captured in a setting that felt just right, with every shot as minimal and intentional as the design itself.
