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. This book is produced in cooperation with the award-winning car magazine ramp.

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.

Book excerpt: The introduction of the Porsche 901 in 1963 marked↵ a milestone in automotive history. Although the name later had to be changed because Peugeot had patented having a 0 in the middle of car model numbers, the 911 didn't let anything stand in the way of its becoming an iconic sports car. This success story spans all the way from the 901 and the Carrera RS 2.7 (which with its characteristic rear spoiler--the so-called "ducktail"--was the fastest production car of its time) right up to the current generation of the 991. For the 50th birthday of the populous 911 family, the famous automotive photographer Rene Staud, whose The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Book has also been published by teNeues, showcases the most important models--all in his typically radiant and distinctive style.

All the iconic 911 models are included: the original 901 prototype that set the standard; the legendary RS models that made the little Porsche a dominant force on the world's racetracks; the infamous Turbo, the car that kept the performance flame alight during the dark, dismal decade of the 1970s; the fabled 959, the model that redefined the term "sports car"; the 993, last of the original air-cooled models; and the 996, 997, and 991, the liquid-cooled cars that brought the 911 into a new millennium. Beyond telling the story of the cars, Porsche 911: 50 years also spotlights the people behind them: Ferdinand "Butzi" Porsche, the son of legendary Porsche founder Ferdinand "Ferry" Porsche, who co-designed the instantly recognizable 911 shape; Peter W. Schutz, the Porsche CEO who saved the 911 from extinction; and Dr. Helmuth Bott, the engineering genius behind many of the groundbreaking technologies that have defined the 911, including fuel injection, turbocharging, and all-wheel-drive. Leffingwell also tells the story of the 911 community--the clubs and culture that surround the car.
