Meet: Christian Grau

Christian Grau wears many hats in his professional life. He is a public speaker, lifestyle expert and podcast host, but one thing ties it all together: his passion for cars.

It all begins at home with the smell of freshly brewed coffee and the sound of his dog, Pirlo. From the coffee cup in his hand to the garage that embraces a world of cars, and on to the microphone in the podcast studio. Between passion, car talk and reflections on clothing, one thing becomes clear: for Christian, cars, clothes and style are connected. It’s not just surface – it’s expression.
“I think we’ve become very aware that our clothes tell a story. And since we care so much about that, I find it strange that we’re a bit car-blind, as if we just need to get from A to B. Whether you do it in a Land Rover or an Opel – that does make a difference.”

There is a special charm in the way Christian talks about cars. It’s never just metal and motors. It’s about emotions, character and identity. And that is exactly how he sees style, too.
“I like many different cars, and I love my Renault. I’ve lost my heart to that little thing. Not only is it absurdly well designed, it’s also more refined than many far more expensive cars. That said, I also feel very much myself when I drive through the city in my Porsche. I must admit that.”

And you can almost picture it: the sun on the windscreen, the classic silhouette of the Porsche, and Christian behind the wheel with that characteristic glint in his eye that says, I know exactly how this looks – and I own it.
“When I’m driving through the city in my Porsche, I’m just a grey-haired, relatively privileged man rolling along in his Porsche. I can tick quite a few of the boxes for that type – I just need a linen shirt and a Shamballa bracelet,” he laughs.

For Christian Grau, style is about much more than what you wear or what you drive. It’s about awareness. About standing by your choices. About being able to laugh at yourself along the way.

In the end, it’s not just about the car, the shirt or the jacket. It’s about the feeling you get when you take your place – whether it’s behind the wheel or in front of the mirror.
