Porsche 911: 50 Years

Best-selling author Randy Leffingwell celebrates a half-century of one of the world's premiere sports cars, focusing on the major themes that have defined Porsche's rear-engined wonder.
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.

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
- The 996, 997, and 991, the liquid-cooled cars that brought the 911 into a new millennium.

Porsche 911, le plaisir à l'état pur (Autofocus)

Is there a car that provides such pure pleasure? Since 1963, the Porsche 911, the brand's flagship model, has been seducing sports car lovers. And it's still going strong...
Its "frog eyes" have been mocked. No matter! It uses them to seduce. But be careful! Under the rear hood lies a wild beast ready to roar, giving it breathtaking accelerations up to speeds that border on madness.

This book is for those who are passionate about the "911 myth" for whatever reason: possession, admiration, driving pleasure, collection, cult of beauty, etc.
In this book, we find the 911 from its origins, through the main models that have marked a career that has already spanned 46 years! Thus, the "classics" where we count the famous 2.0 liter S to which the sporting record of the 911 owes so much, the Targa "Police" version so popular with the Belgian gendarmes, the extravagant as well as impressive 930 Turbo, the 959 victorious in the Paris-Dakar, the legendary and so elegant 3.6 liter Speedster, or the efficient 964 with four-wheel drive. And many more...
These exceptional Porsches are described by highlighting their technical features and the details that allow them to be identified from one another. Their presentation is illustrated by magnificent original photographs taken by Pierre-Yves Gaulard for the "Autofocus" collection.

Porsche 911 - Das Sportwagenideal

The 911 series brings technical innovations and a familiar driving experience to the streets with each new model, and has been delighting Porsche fans around the world for over fifty years. Porsche expert Serge Bellu brings together all 911s ever built in a comprehensive book in Porsche 911 - the ideal sports car.

However, the richly illustrated volume is more than just a piece of automotive literature. Bellu has created a mixture of photo album and diary of the classic sports car with the 6-cylinder boxer engine: The history begins before the day of his birth in September 1963 and ranges from the development of the air-cooled forefather 901 to legendary successor models such as the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 and 911 Turbo to the evolution to the first water-cooled 911 and today's models.

Of course, the racing history is not left out either and is examined in detail with legends such as the 911 RSR or the 911 GT3 R Hybrid. Special models are highlighted in detailed portraits. Anecdotes and entertaining accompanying texts provide interesting insights and additional information.
