In an age where magazine titles have all but lost all meaning (I'm looking at you, but not you), it's refreshing to know that Carl*s Cars has simply been publishing the finest German Dungeon Porn since 2001. (Take that, Google...)
Yes, it might sound simple - some guy named Carl, writing about cars - but as stated on the cover this is really a magazine about people. Published quarterly since 2001 by Karl Eirik Haug and Stéphanie Dumont, Carl*s Cars blends car culture with music, fashion, film and design.
Similar to Dazed and Confused's offshoot, Intersection, but with a better sense of humour and curiousity, Carl*s uses the automobile as a metaphor to speak about the idea of freedom and how it intersects with people's creativity. Chauffeurs' underwear, music for trivial situations and pictures of famous drivers' licences are just some of the features gracing its ample pages. Not to mention photos of naked people. And very, very nice cars.
Carl*s Cars: giving new meaning to ‘dash hand' since 2001. In anticipation of your pending addiction, Sahil at mag nation has set up a deal with Karl himself to order you the back issues.
