Porsche 904, 906, 908, 909 and 910: Illustrated History Books & Guides

Porsche Sports Racing Prototypes 1963-1971

NEW

Between the 1950s and 1971, long-distance endurance racing reached its peak, and Porsche emerged as a rising manufacturer. Step by step, the company moved from dependable class wins to overall victories, a position it would later secure for good.

This book examines six Porsche racing models built between 1963 and 1971: the 904, 906, 910, 907, 908 and 917. These cars competed in FIA Group 6 Prototypes, the Group 4 World Sportscar Championship, and European hillclimb events. The races ranged from 6 to 24 hours or were defined by distance, including 500 km, 1.000 km and 500 miles, at circuits such as Le Mans, Nürburgring, Monza, Spa-Francorchamps, Brands Hatch, Daytona and Sebring.

Covering each racing season, this richly illustrated book documents Porsche's many successes. It includes more than 300 high-quality images, many previously unpublished, from professional photographers and factory archives. Interviews with leading Porsche drivers add first-hand insight, and the foreword is written by two-time Le Mans winner Gijs van Lennep. Together, text and images tell the story of Porsche's rise from regular class winner to clear overall champion.

Porsche 904: Die komplette Dokumentation - Entwicklung, Evolution, Fahrzeughistorie

The 904 model was presented in 1963 as the first Porsche with a plastic body and, with the new GT regulations that came into force in 1964, became one of the most successful racing vehicles from the Zuffenhausen-based company.
Appearance, technology and countless victories on racetracks around the world make the only 120 Porsche 904s produced today coveted and extremely expensive classics.

Reason enough for Jürgen Barth, as Le Mans winner and former Porsche customer sport coordinator, to present a fascinating documentation of every single Porsche 904. For Porsche enthusiasts, this book is a real treasure trove of the highest brand and motorsport history significance.
