A proudly pure, steadfastly analogue statement in an increasingly digitized world, the Garagisti GP1 reimagines the supercar for those who value speed with soul, purposeful function & timelessly emotive beauty.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you find yourself having the sense that many of today's supercars & hyperexotics are increasingly unrelatable and less enjoyable in the real world, rest assured that you're not alone. Back at the 2024 , .escudero3 & a band of kindred spirits set out to find the answers to some key questions playing on their minds.

Namely, what if the iconic supercar masters that sparked our passions weren't allowed to die out, but had evolved instead? What would they look like today? What would they feel like with modern materials, more power & evolved designs? Most importantly, could they still embody that analogue purity while being sharper, lighter, & more alive to drive than ever before?

The GP1 is their answer. Nestled within an advanced carbon fiber monocoque chassis engineered by , at its heart is a 6.6-liter .engineering V12 pumping out over 800 hp at a scintillating 9000 RPM; relentlessly focused on lightness, perfect balance and scalpel sharp responses. There's serious work put into its underbody aerodynamic sculpting too; leaving the rest of its fuselage free to breathe once more into a stunning piece of automotive sculpture that honours those great icons while driving boldly into the future, thanks to the design talents of .

Most importantly, it leaves unneeded excess at the door: there are no fancy dual clutch transmission paddles, heavy turbo hybrid systems, digital touchscreens or overzealous algorithms. It's just the driver & a supercar conceived to put control back in their hands, targeted to weigh in at just over a ton while still being a great handler with sufficient luggage room for proper Grand Touring. For those who take their driving mastery seriously, having honed their skills & experiences over time, this marks a return to that joyful thrill as the key focus; and will hopefully inspire others to do the same.

Designed collaboratively with Remus Chang Supremus, this hybrid instant camera enabled spontaneously fun, stylish storytelling with the ability to instantly print captures or share them digitally, channeling responsive creativity for fast paced movers while preserving tactile memories.

Now this Edition adds a boldly characterful twist with limited edition collectability. Only 100 of these cameras will ever be produced worldwide, 50 in red and 50 in white; making it a truly exclusive collectors’ piece for photography enthusiasts and design advocates alike.

Its striking design is the creative work of none other than proudly homegrown Malaysian artist Remus Chang, Motorsport Playground’s founder & creative director who has flipped the script on sometimes overdone perfection with a hand-drawn aesthetic style expressing the freedom of spontaneous individuality. Here, he seeks to capture instant photography’s raw, unfiltered spirit with a unique kind of unapologetically playful authenticity. Well known across our scene as “Supremus,” Remus has spent more than 2 decades utilizing artistic elements drawn from creative spheres as wide ranging as sneaker culture, streetwear, hip-hop music & skateboarding, then blurring the lines between these inspirations and the automotive world; adding his own artistic twists to create utterly unique conceptions.

“Every project is a canvas for self-expression. Here, I wanted to do something more sketchy, more messy, more human with intention,” he said. Something most evocatively reflected in his very own Porsche 991.1 911 GT3 RS, stylishly wrapped to celebrate this occasion with the same artistically inspired, bold freehand marker style strokes which echo the freedom of a designer’s early concept ideation sketches. Imperfect yet powerful, it is these bold lines that give the SOFORT 2 Sketch Flex edition its uniquely impactful style.

The visionary work of m2atelier, this new design direction is centered around the concept of Barefoot Luxury, an aesthetic and emotional philosophy catering to the evolving lifestyles of a new yachting generation embracing freedom, spontaneity, and a more emotionally instinctive take on life at sea. After all, they say that informal living is one of the ultimate expressions of luxury: unapologetic, unforced, deeply personal, and unbothered by the opinions or thoughts of others

With this in mind, the pared back yet extremely refined, warm & measured interior boasts a thoughtfully curated material selection emphasizing quality over variety, with rich textures & purposefully pure forms. Straight lines define the overall architectural vocabulary, lending a sense of spacious intimacy.

The creative expressions of Marijana Radovic & Marco Bonelli also form a kaleidoscopic architecture throughout the yacht, with meticulously layered geometries and shifting perspectives. From precisely aligned wood grains to the architectural interplays between light & shadow, every element combines to form expansively curated interior spaces that are both dynamic yet perfectly composed at the same time.
