Porsche - The Pursuit of Excellence, av Bill Reynolds

This captivating look into the golden history of the legendary car features profiles of champion sportscars and luxury touring automobiles and provides insight into how Porsches are made.

With Over 150 Color illustrations. Porsche: a relentless, methodical striving for perfection. The cars that bear the name of Ferdinand Porsche are the only sports cars in the world that are synonymous with reliability as well as with sheer outright speed and performance.

This book documents the career of Porsche himself, and tells the story of the cars that he and his company built, from the Porsche-Lohner Chaise, which dates back to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, to the newest turbocharged supercars. Race-winning sports cars and luxury grand tourers mingle on these pages, with technical details and insights into how different Porsches were built for different markets.

There are stories, too, of how even Porsche occasionally got it wrong, but always learned from the experience. The original Volkswagen-based 356; the seemingly immortal 911; and the straight-four and V8 Porsches - all are here, along with the ill-fated 914 and the underrated 912, to say nothing of the prototypes. The informative text also tells of earlier Porsche designs: the mighty Mercedes sports racers and the terrifyingly powerful Vl6 Auto-Union Formula One cars, as well as the humble Volkswagen itself.

The emphasis, though, is on the road cars, and the stunning photographs help to tell the story of the Porsches, which are not only among the most desirable fast cars you can buy, but also the best built.
