Thunderstorm on the tarmac - the new GT2 RS, the new arrival in the 911 line up really packs a punch! With 700bhp it is the most powerful GT2 ever made and truly a powerhouse. How better to stage this supercar than by giving it what it needs - a lot of space to unfold. The outdoor shoot in South Africa with a breathtaking scenery was predestined for this.

The look and composition of this image series underlines the clear demands of this racing 'bolide'. In cooperation with Stefan Eisele Postproduction, NPIXO managed to translate the sheer power of the GT2 RS in to a convincing pictorial language.

The last days of summer are near so a wintery refreshment is just right. WE! Shoot creative duo Michael Compensis and Thomas von Salomon didn't leave anything out in their wintry transport spread.

The new bright red Jaguar F-Pace plows through the wintery snow-capped Alps. The backplates were already created in spring in southern Bavaria and Austria, some with a drone, while the spheres were also delivered by the duo thanks to a 360° sphere camera. Despite the -20° temperatures and the frozen diesel, the multi-day backplate shoot at 2,750m altitude went smoothly.

For the third vehicle from the Hyundai I30 family, the pair - who had already shot the Waggon and Hatchback - also filmed the trailer in addition to the studio stills: a job quite welcomed by the two automotive pros as being true to their slogan "anything visual".

A few days later, the team flew to Berlin to stage the brand new KIA Stinger together with Paul van Dyk for Innocean Worldwide. For a couple of days the creative duo and the star DJ went through the streets of the German capital with the new Coupé - a perfect match!
