| In little more than half a century, German automaker Porsche has staked its claim as one of the top manufacturers in the hyper-competitive sports car world. The story of its rise to fame is inextricably linked to its founder, Ferry Porsche, and reveals the versatility of Porsche cars on tracks and racing circuits. This book traces the story of the famous German marque from its first models (356) to the great racing success stories (550, 787 F2, 906), not forgetting countless versions of the 911 and the stunning high performance racing cars (917, 962, 911 GT1). With superb photography by Dominique Fontenat, plus a wealth of extraordinary archive material and anecdotal commentary, author Sylvain Reisser tells the story of 30 models that symbolize the Porsche legend. Hardcover, 9-1/2" x 12-1/4", 192 pages, 50 color, 200 b/w |
