PREFACE

When I started working at Porsche as an intern, I was asked to name the first thought that comes to my mind when I see a Porsche; I replied ‘speed’. 7 years later looking back, to say only ‘speed’ feels very uninspired. At the time I could not fully appreciate how much more the name Porsche would come to mean to me. Today my response would be ‘dream’: The dream of Ferry Porsche and the relentless pursuit of perfection in his cars has always driven us. The dreams of our teams of engineers and designers who ensure this vision is carried into the future. The dreams of young men and women who someday hope to experience what we work so hard on. These dreams require patience and attention to detail; painful commitment over many years. But that is why dreams are so important to what we do here, they are always worth daring for. We dared when we launched Type 7 exactly one year ago. Our declared goal was to address young, ambitious people with a similar mindset: enthusiasts, who challenge outdated perceptions, who were seeking meaningful experiences and could offer inspiring perspectives. A community that shares the same passion for design, art and architecture. It’s funny that of all numbers the number 7 represents the jackpot on slot machines – we dared and we won. For me type 7 is not only my dream project but also the permanent drive to create something special .Because Porsche is not only about speed. We are 356, 911, 718. We are Targa, Spyder and Speedster. We are the ignition lock on the left. We are design and art, driveable art .And we, Ted, our editorial team and myself, are one thing above all: we are Type 7 – the daily magazine for those who are driven – 24h a day, 7 days a week.

Now that weâ€™re all here, itâ€™s time we told you a little bit about where our name comes from: In 1961 Ferdinand Alexander Porsche debuted his first concept prototype for the successor to the iconic 356. It was this design that would ultimately become the 911, and internally it was referred to as Type 754. If you happen to be visiting the Porsche Museum you might find this very prototype on display - Ted Gushue

year: 2003 models: Carerra GT engine: 5.7L colour code: M72 owner: Arthur Kar

“In 1998 I began working as an apprentice mechanic at Sonauto in Levallois, a suburb of Paris. I worked there for one year before I became certified as a Porsche Mechanic.” Explains Arthur Kar of L’art de L’automobile - the hybrid automotive showroom and fashion label based in St Germain, Paris; “I was 16. It was a big deal for me. Sonauto was the original importer, dealer, and main garage that serviced Paris. There were others, but Sonauto was in my opinion the pinnacle. I spent five years as a mechanic there."
