revvv: Mythos Le Mans

Print is dead. Long live print. The other day the Adrenalin Verlag Hamburg sent us their latest work called "revvv". I knew that there's a new mag on its way, but holding it in my hands is another thing – because revvv is different. It is half magazine, half book and bilingual. I take my hat off – I know what it takes to publish German/English. It's a mountain of work.

The other day the Adrenalin Verlag Hamburg sent us their latest work called "revvv". I knew that there's a new mag on its way, but holding it in my hands is another thing – because revvv is different. It is half magazine, half book and bilingual. I take my hat off – I know what it takes to publish German/English. It's a mountain of work.

The magazine is published twice a year, always with a central subject. This issue deals with the Le Mans 24 Hours – 260 pages full of passion about the probably toughest race of the world.
