“At the beginning, it was just an idea. Everybody believed in it. But we stand here today only because all those involved gave us their best.”
“We wanted to create something different. It was not easy to address the world of racing with an attitude of excellence. Without a doubt, Akrapovič stands exactly for that.”
“Not many people know that, but the most interesting and challenging part of this project was completed before the first issue was even printed. The fascinating transformation from the ideas in our heads to the final product in the readers’ hands.”

“A demanding client, complex stories, superb result.”
“When creating each issue, I work with pleasure and eagerly anticipate what content we will put into the next one.”
“It was challenging and intense to refresh the design of each issue according to the content... But it paid off, based on the positive feedback gained from the stakeholders and motoring world.”

“It’s good to still have such media that allow interesting stories and adventures to be captured and recorded forever. Even if only on paper with words and images. In a way this makes them eternal.”
“To create such a magazine was pure pleasure. I was overwhelmed by pride and joy every time we received fresh copies from the press. To be able to create something for Akrapovič, a team that belongs among the world’s best.”
“A decade of evolving visual identity and changing design gave us lifelong experience on art directing and understanding the process in the field of magazine design with a very specific target audience.”
“Boundlessness and timelessness captured by a state-of-the-art exhaust technology…”
We believed in our idea. We got together by chance. And created a magazine that has already survived for a decade. It was not always easy, because arts and journalism can differ greatly from manufacturing exhaust pipes. We were understood and given enough freedom to carry out our plan. We are pleased and proud. We know that the coming decade will be an even greater challenge. Of course, we will try to come across more good ideas along the way... illustration Mitja Bokun
