Coches deportivos Porsche: libros - historia y modelos (2/2)

Electrified - since 1893 (English Edition)

The history of Porsche begins electrically: in 1893 Ferdinand Porsche brought the future to his parents' house with a lighting system. In 1898, he designed his first electric vehicle with rear-wheel drive.
His steerable wheel hub drive, which he presented in 1900 in a Lohner Porsche electric vehicle in Paris, was marketable. In the same year, he created the world's first functional hybrid vehicle. Under the heading "Intelligent Performance", Porsche took up the idea again in 2010.

The new book from the Porsche Museum Edition spans the spectrum from early electric mobility with road and racing vehicles to modern hybrid concepts and the Taycan, the Porsche brand's first all-electric sports car.

Porsche Milestones

This book chronicles Porsche's 70-year history, highlighting key milestones both on the racetracks and the roads. In the realm of motorsport, Porsche has consistently pursued unconventional paths, as exemplified by the speedy lightweight hill climbers, powerful 917, pioneering turbo victory at Le Mans, ground effect racing prototype, and sports car triumph in the Paris to Dakar desert race. A significant achievement came in 2015, 2016, and 2017 when the Porsche 919 secured a Le Mans hat trick through its unique hybrid technology.

On the road, Porsche's legacy began with the 356 in the 1950s, evolving into increasingly beautiful and faster sports car generations. The 911, introduced in the mid-sixties, remains a stroke of genius whose design and technology continue to inspire reinterpretations. Porsche's history is filled with bold deviations from convention, exemplified by the 356 Speedster, 911 Carrera RS 2.7, the daring Boxster, the successful Cayenne, and the rapid follow-up, the Macan.

This book, created in collaboration with the makers of the award-winning magazine "ramp," combines international expertise to provide an entertaining, creative, and informative perspective on Porsche's cars and culture.

Electrified - seit 1893 (Deutsche Ausgabe)

The story of Porsche begins with electricity: in 1893, Ferdinand Porsche brought the future into his parents' house with a lighting system. In doing so, he literally flipped the switch to his career as a pioneer of electromobility.
In 1898, he designed his first electric car with rear-wheel drive. His steerable wheel hub drive, which he presented in a Lohner-Porsche electric car in Paris in 1900, was marketable. In the same year, he created the world's first functional hybrid vehicle. Porsche took up the idea again in 2010 under the heading "Intelligent Performance".

The book from the Porsche Museum Edition spans the spectrum from early electromobility with road and racing vehicles to modern hybrid concepts and the Taycan, the first fully electric sports car from the Porsche brand.
