Porsche Legends - Die Rennsport-Ikonen aus Zuffenhausen / The racing icons from Zuffenhausen

Motorsport not only gave Porsche the opportunity to test progressive technology that could be transferred to roadsters, it also was the ideal marketing tool with an enormous influence.

Just as legendary are René Staud's Porsche photos. As one of the best and most famous automobile photographers worldwide he staged the top-class sports cars in a matchless direct manner.
Beyond the racing track's noise and dirt, the Porsche models unfold their unique magic and show the tough developmental work behind them as well as the timelessness of functional design!
