The introduction of the Porsche 901 at 1963's IAA marked a milestone in automotive history. Although the name later had to be changed because Peugeot had patented having a 0 in the middle of car model numbers, the 911 didn't let anything stand in the way of its becoming an iconic sports car. This success story spans all the way from the 901 and the Carrera RS 2.7, which with its characteristic rear spoiler — the so-called ducktail — was the fastest production car of its time, right up to the current generation of the 991. |

An advertising slogan at the heart of pop culture, Audi's Vorsprung durch Technik has not only entered everyday speech, but has also made its way into song lyrics such as Parklife by Blur and U2's Zooropa. Yet Vorsprung durch Technik is far more than a slogan for Audi — it represents a conscious choice to always think in new ways. This forward-looking approach has led to Audi's pioneering innovations such as the permanent all-wheel drive, aluminum construction and the TDI engine. Since 1909, and all throughout its eventful history, the company with the four interlocking rings as its symbol, has consistently produced cars that excite drivers: the Auto Union Grand Prix racing cars, the legendary quattro, the TT. |

New additions to the automotive market are judged primarily by efficiency or fuel consumption. Things are quite different for historical cars. Major car shows, from Pebble Beach to Villa d'Este, feature classic cars, which although they may not achieve top marks in the wind tunnel, have a timeless elegance that makes the hearts of all aficionados skip a beat. The photographer Ansel Adams, who was an honorary judge at Pebble Beach, once defined them as follows: The type of vehicle I would like to be buried in. From the Jaguar XK 140 to the Porsche 550 Spyder, Rene Staud has shot automotive classics in settings ranging from the subtle to the spectacular. As co-organizer and head of the Car Selection Committee for Schloss Bensberg Classics, Jurgen Lewandowski provides authoritative texts. The Classic Cars Book conveys a real passion for these spectacular vehicles, appealing to existing fans and those yet to fall under their spell. |

He documented the course of World War II in London, North Africa, Italy, the Battle of Normandy on Omaha Beach and the liberation of Paris. His action photographs, such as those taken during the 1944 Normandy invasion, portray the violence of war with unique impact.

Meanwhile, Aston Martin has celebrated a milestone birthday.
