lololol this guy has gone off the reservation. There are already a few porsche only magazines, and the damn company made one or 2 models for most of its life. What else is there that needs to be in depth discovered?
$250 dollars for 4 issues. Thats just ****ing stupid.
will flop...hard.

Definitely NOT trolling but I disagree. Yes it is expensive but we live in a Porsche world where exclusivity sells. There is a reason he priced it high and time will tell. The letter definitely eludes to special perks that the $1K crowd will have access to. We will see.

Does he really think this is sustainable? What is anyone gonna do with 5 years of super high quality magazines?

I remember people saying the same thing about Singer's pricing when they came out. Now everyone with means wants one and there is a long line to get one.
Not sure Pete will be able to change the narrative on the magazine front in a similar fashion and get people to fork over that kind of money. Too bad- he really gave Panorama a much-needed kick in the pants and I'm a big fan of his work. Although for $250 I'll buy $50 worth of drugs and stare at Excellence until "form follows function".

Buying content, not advertising. And what looks like a very nice presentation, paper quality, photographs. Cheap in a way if you really think about it. We are used to buying mass produced media on cheap paper with limited content and stuffed with ads. Not for everyone, but I get it.

Its a Porsche version of the old Automobile Quarterly (and those are VERY collectible).

Reminds me of an uber-Automotive Quarterly type publication. Not really a magazine.
But has been said, there is so much content available out there, that this is simply for the collector type.
