Porsche 911
Discover six decades of Porsche excellence with this beautifully illustrated monograph featuring 60 landmark models of the 911.
The Porsche 911 is the quintessential sports car. Since its prototype was introduced in 1963, it has exceeded expectations without ever losing its silhouette or soul. Porsche has never imitated its competitors but has always been a trailblazer, whether in competition or in the hearts of enthusiasts. No model better represents the image and commitment of the Stuttgart brand than the ever-evolving 911. Over these sixty years of technical sophistication and refined design, the 911 has remained true to its roots without becoming stagnant. Renowned Porsche specialist Randy Leffingwell tells the story of the 911, highlighting the history of the designers, drivers, and enthusiasts of the most illustrious German sports car: Ferdinand "Butzi" Porsche, who crafted the timeless silhouette of the 911, and his successors; Peter W. Schutz, the Porsche CEO who saved the 911 from an early demise; and the Porsche leaders who persevered, notably Wendelin Wiedeking; the brilliant engineers like Dr. Helmuth Bott, along with the stylists and modelers. Each model studied is accompanied by historical photographs from the Porsche archives and stunning contemporary photographs. "Porsche 911" is a tribute to the 911 of the legendary German brand.
