Porsche: The Impossible Collection

Some cars are built to transport people. Porsche built cars that set culture in motion: on racetracks and on gallery walls, in movies and fashion, and in the imagination of every child with a poster above their bed. The coffee-table book *Porsche: The Impossible Collection*, an official collaboration between publisher Assouline and Porsche AG, captures the essence of the brand through one hundred defining moments.

Progressing chronologically from the 1948 Gmünd Roadster to the 911, the 959, the Carrera GT, and the Taycan, the book treats each icon as a character, featuring a studio portrait alongside archival photos, design sketches, and the advertising that made it a coveted object. Nineteen victories at Le Mans are featured alongside Hanns Lohrer’s pop art posters, the Chronograph I, Daniel Arsham’s eroded 911s, and the Mulberry Green 993 Turbo, built in collaboration with Aimé Leon Dore.

For those who measure life in laps, color schemes, and late nights in the garage, this monumental book—handcrafted in Italy—is the archive brought to life. Ferry Porsche built the car he couldn’t find; this is the story of everything that followed.

The vinyl-covered, padded clamshell cover features a deeply recessed metal plate depicting the iconic Porsche 917K.
