Great work!

A Speed Graphic, a handful of Grafmatics and go for it.

Show us what you get.

The work of Phillipe Doudou (http://www.phild.ch/main.php?c=1) on the Touareg the OP was quoting looks like it was done with lots of postprocessing and the by now cliché 1.2/85mm lens on a Canon DSLR.
Very boring shots to me, he's got that advertising background, and the Touaregs are looking like the Nike ads he also has on his website...

Wayne's said it already, take a Speed Graphic (better a Crown, tiny bit lighter), a Monopod (the trick to shoot with a Speed in doc style) and lots of film...

have fun!

According to this link he shot the Tuaregs with a view camera. Might be a 6x9, my French isn't that good... Maybe he combined digital with film: http://www.phild.ch/GQMakingOf/GQ_makingof-2008.pdf
Got myself a Speed a while ago, planning to start shooting with it seriously in the near future and will definitely show the results (if I get any :-) )

You'll find some LF in this but probably not identified as such.

Don, some nice work in that series...

i did a bit of searching a found out he actually uses 4x5 for some of his images.. just shows why large format does not stand out in tiny internet pictures.

i liked this shot really much, it show some softness in corners so it must be something pretty fast on pretty large film:
