The challenge
The publication needed to communicate the car’s history and engineering while staying short enough to enjoy at a show, as an extension of the vehicle.
The solution
Rather than treat the project as a brochure, we approached it as an editorial publication inspired by automotive magazines.
The results
The final book became a premium publication displayed alongside the vehicle, giving readers the history and context behind what makes the car rare and special.
