Is this the best print style ad ever?

I’ve always felt so.

“last year, Porsche took the first five place.”

Ow...so close!

It certainly is one of the best.

The guy in charge of designing all those wonderful Porsche posters and catalogues (plus Christophorus, the Porsche magazine for customers) was nothing short of amazing. His name was Erich Strenger, look him up. He stayed with Porsche for decades - until the end of the 80s.

After he left Christophorus still looked good while it still was printed in square format. Unfortunately at some stage (around 1993, I think) someone decided that was too expensive and they went for a more standard “portrait” layout. Strangely editorial quality also took a nosedive, in my opinion.

I haven’t seen an issue of Christophorus in decades. The company which used to do it lately for Porsche were pretty disastrous though.

Hard to argue but I loved the old Volvo wagon ads. Also I think this Porsche ad is genius. Simple line that gets the message across:

You are so right on both accounts, but above all on that Porsche advertisement. Few print Porsche ads of that era were memorable but that one was excellent.
