IT WAS NEVER ABOUT CARS
LOOK MOM I DID A THING!
IT WAS ABOUT EMOTION, CULTURE & COMMUNITY
Porsche: Mission Feature Heritage

Walter Röhrl, Carrera GTs and a Dream About Vegetables!!!
The Porsche Museum doesn’t do things halfway. When they launched Mission Future Heritage, the goal wasn’t just to celebrate the past. It was to carry Porsche’s history into the future with some of the most iconic and rare performance cars ever built.
We had the privilege of joining the event, capturing it all for both media and social channels.
Together with photographer Roman Rätzke, we were tasked to document the experience and supply the attending journalists and influencers with high quality photography.
Pretty pictures of even prettier cars.
The lineup was breathtaking: two Porsche Carrera GTs. The red car , chassis number 0000, was Walter Röhrl’s personal Carrera GT, and Röhrl himself was there, alongside Le Mans legend Jörg Bergmeister. Next to them: a Porsche 959 S, a silver 959, a 993 Turbo, a one-off G-model Targa prototype powered by a 2.7 RS engine and a pristine 3.0 Targa.
Day One: Silence Before the Storm
The first day was dedicated to clean photography. No crowds, no distractions. Just us, the cars, and an empty museum parking lot. Being alone with that lineup felt surreal, like being handed the keys to heaven for 24 hours.
Then came a moment that made even seasoned professionals smile like kids: Jörg Bergmeister took the 959 for his very first drive. Watching a racing champion experience that car for the first time was as memorable as the cars themselves.

Three Days of V10s screaming and the Best Vegetables Ever
Over the next three days, convoys of priceless Porsches wound their way from the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart into the Black Forest, eventually arriving at a castle whose name I’ve forgotten but whose food will live in my memory forever. Vegetables so good I literally dreamed about them afterwards.
But nothing topped the experience of sitting in a Carrera GT, being driven rally-style by Bergmeister through twisting forest roads, while Walter Röhrl followed in another Carrera GT. The sound of twin V10s bouncing through the trees is the stuff of legends.

The Best Office in the World
Evenings ended in the Porsche Museum workshop, surrounded by mechanics preparing and cleaning the cars. We sat at workbenches editing photos while Carrera GTs, 959s, and classic 911s rolled back in from the road. It was less an office and more a dream workspace.
Mission Future Heritage was more than just an event. It was a rolling celebration of Porsche’s past, present, and future, featuring cars that shaped history and legends like Walter Röhrl and Jörg Bergmeister behind the wheel.
From the raw sound of the Carrera GT’s V10 in the Black Forest to the quiet evenings editing in the museum workshop, this was one of those projects that redefines what “a good day at work” can look like.
