On September 19, one of the greatest automotive visionaries would have celebrated his hundredth birthday: Ferry Porsche. He turned his father’s design office into a world-famous company that is still marked by his values and ideas.

An unprecedented series of victories began 40 years ago. Porsche won its first Manufacturers’ World Championship with the model 908—thanks to racing engineer Peter Falk and driver Jo Siffert.

The other life starts when a man changes his suit for a leather jacket in the evening. Everything changes—his walk, his gestures, his body language, even the tenor of his voice. It’s all about being cool.
