Street Racing Through LA With Magnus Walker, The World\u2019s Most Notorious Porsche Collector<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The stories behind Magnus Walker and Daniel Malikyar\u2019s new photo series are almost better than the images themselves. Almost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYesterday I drove a $4 million Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport, which was really impressive,\u201d says Magnus Walker, \u201cbut it\u2019s a car that is way out of my league.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From looking at his Instagram<\/a>, you wouldn\u2019t believe any<\/em> car is out of Magnus Walker\u2019s league. One day he\u2019s cruising around in a six-figure Ferrari in Los Angeles, another he\u2019s testing the chops of the new Ford Bronco in the middle of nowhere. You see, Walker has become one of the most recognizable Porsche collectors and customizers in the world \u2014 known as much for his signature \u201cOutlaw\u201d builds as his signature dreadlocks and Gandalf beard \u2014 and with that repute comes the opportunity to drive all manner of rarefied automobiles, if not own them. Despite that access, there\u2019s still plenty left on his vehicular bucket list, and that\u2019s where Daniel Malikyar comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, the two collaborated on a new photography series in which they set out to \u201c[capture] the fine art of urban racing\u201d in L.A. The images, which are available for purchase through Santo Gallery<\/a> in limited-edition prints starting February 19, sit at the intersection of old-school hot rods in car magazines and new-school car porn on Instagram feeds. That dichotomy comes straight from the creators: Walker is a 53-year-old gearhead and British expat, while Malikyar is a 26-year-old Afghan-American virtuoso, the co-founder of Santo with a portfolio of gripping photography and film work that belies his years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
