Staying sharp and focused.

This is going to be good thought Andreas Müller, as he caught a first glimpse of his ivory white Porsche 356 B at the port in Rotterdam. He had bought the classic car more or less sight unseen months earlier – the photos alone were enough to set his pulse racing. "I've always been fascinated by the fact that in a 356 you never feel as if you are going slowly. You feel the exceptional performance, the perfection, the joy," says the 42-year-old as he climbs into the Porsche Cayenne S. Our destination today is one of his favourite childhood spots in Saxony's Ore Mountains.

“With the Car Remote Package you can plan a trip right down the last detail before setting off. This saves a lot of stress when on the road.”

Perfection down to the last detail.
His plan for today is to shoot new photos for the Mühle manufactory Instagram account. Müller bends down, grabs two handfuls of snow and spreads it over the wooden table on the viewing platform. He keeps looking towards the sun, trying to find the right position to take photos without too much shadow. “Photographing a wooden-handled brush outdoors – it doesn't get much better than this,” he explains.

The pictures have turned out great. Müller follows the trail back, but this time a lot more slowly. He sways slightly as he walks in silence, looking at his smartphone. He activates the Safety Radar function using the My Porsche app. “No matter which Porsche you drive, you really feel a powerful connection with the road. Every Porsche gives you a drive that feels sporty and direct. I have no idea how it works, but that is what the Porsche legend is all about,” he says. “When I'm out driving in my 356, I get strangers waving at me, flashing their headlights or giving me the thumbs-up – the feedback is always positive.” In the Cayenne S he's fascinated by the the technology that he doesn't have in his 356. “The electronic interface between the driver and the vehicle is perfect down to the last detail.”

A former theology student, Müller would today much rather study industrial design and focus on product design and packaging. “Considering cost versus benefit, perfecting shapes, touching, feeling, trying out materials,” he says, pausing for a moment. He then laughs at his own words. “What am I talking about? I do all of those things anyway.” No matter what he had chosen to study, it was always inevitable that the father-of-three would work in the family business afterwards. “If for no other reason than that all-important word: family.”
