One must first imagine a car, stated Enzo Ferrari. Nobody creates pictures worthy of the Commendatore's imagination quite like Gunther Raupp. Not just a random flood of images, this internationally renowned automotive photographer's artworks capture the seductive essence of these status symbols from Maranello — maintaining the legendary Ferrari luster. Since 1984, Raupp has been the exclusive photographer for its official calendars — now collectible cult objects. Recently, a major exhibition in the World Cultural Heritage Site of the Volklingen Ironworks was dedicated to his photographs, their almost surreal effects and striking use of backlighting. In 2008 teNeues published Raupp's successful Ferrari, 25 Years of Calendar Images. With The Ferrari Book Gunther Raupp adds an exciting, exclusive collector's item to our line of high quality car books.

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.

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.

Elliott Erwitt (b. 26 July 1928 Paris, France) is an advertising and documentary photographer known for his black and white candid shots of ironic and absurd situations within everyday settings — a master of Henri Cartier-Bresson's decisive moment.

Robert Capa was a Hungarian combat photographer and photojournalist who covered five different wars: the Spanish Civil War, the Second Sino-Japanese War, World War II across Europe, the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, and the First Indochina War.

His action photographs, such as those taken during the 1944 Normandy invasion, portray the violence of war with unique impact. In 1947, Capa co-founded Magnum Photos with, among others, the French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson. The organization was the first cooperative agency for worldwide freelance photographers.
