Book excerpt: - Porsche's enduring influence on automobile history: from the legendary 'ducktail' to the thrilling Panamera - A book which is as dynamic as the brand: experts deepen knowledge, amateurs learn more What an incredible milestone in the history of the sports car: in spring 2017, the Porsche 911 was made a millionaire. That is the number of models emblazoned with the legendary "9-1-1" produced by Porsche since 1963. What is the definition of the 911, of a Porsche? -- the language of form and technical expertise. It is the ultimate sports car. Throughout the generations, every single 911 has fascinated owners and spectators alike. Even when a particular 911 series does not resemble its predecessor, the form, sound, and performance remain inspirational -- the emotions are always on board! Dreams come alive, and not just for the guys. A Porsche driver is endowed with taste, technical prowess, a vision of the future, and the trappings of material success. The 356 laid the foundation for the myth of the Porsche, and it also formed the basis for models like the American Roadster, the 550, and the 718 RS 60 Spyder. Loyal companions include family members like the Boxster, Cayman, Panamera, Macan, and even the Cayenne. Out of the running, though unforgotten, are Porsche models like the 924, 944, or even 928. Motor racing cultivated the myth from 1951 until today. Decades later the names 904, 917, 962, and currently, the 919 Hybrid, are still legends. The Porsche Book Vol. 2 presents the history of Porsche with elegant photos and insightful texts. Small nuggets and anecdotes -- largely unheard of -- occasionally shine through. A spellbinding read for those inspired by the joy of a Porsche. Text in English, German and French.
Download or read book Porsche Milestones Revised Edition written by Wilfried Müller and published by Te Neues Publishing Company. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: - The bestseller, with 15,000 copies sold, now expanded to include the latest models, such as the electric Taycan and the brand-new 911 GTS - Sure to quicken the pulse of its readers, offering a very unique approach to the most popular sports car brand and its influence on the history of automobiles - A milestone that is as dynamic as Porsche itself: This book keeps expert aficionados up-to-date while sharing Porsche and its incredible history with casual hobbyists The famous sports car manufacturer now has more than 75 years of history behind it - its milestones are on the world's racetracks and roads. That makes this the perfect occasion for a revised edition of Porsche Milestones. Porsche has always taken and continues to take unconventional paths in motorsports. There were the lightweight racers for hill climbs, the powerful 917, the first turbo victory at Le Mans, the first racing prototype with ground effect, the first victory for a sports car in the famous Paris-Dakar Rally in the desert (now called the Dakar Rally), not to mention Porsche's hat trick at le Mans in 2015, 2016, and 2017 with its unique hybrid technology. On the streets, the 356 has thrilled automobile connoisseurs and elite sports drivers alike since the 1950s; it is a sports car that became increasingly beautiful and faster over the generations. In the mid-sixties, the 911 roared into life; a stroke of genius whose technology and design are still being reinterpreted and recreated today. And time and again Porsche breaks with conventions - take the 356 Speedster, or the 911 Carrera RS 2.7. The Boxster was a bold new launch (incorporating design elements from the magnificent 550). The Cayenne was a daring venture that became a huge hit; the Macan followed swiftly in its wake. This journey through the milestones demonstrates the very special Porsche custom of breaking with tradition, breaking new ground, but remaining true to itself and recognizable as a Porsche. Porsche Milestones provides the best entertainment for everyone who churns out endorphins at the mere mention of the name Porsche.
