Porsche 924, 944 et 968 : livres - histoire et modèles

Porsche 944-924-968 (Top Model)

1975 marque un tournant pour Porsche. Aux côtés de la célèbre et coûteuse 911, le constructeur allemand lance un coupé au dessin moderne, équipé d'un moteur quatre cylindres refroidi par eau.

Jugée moderne et plus accessible par certains, contestée par d'autres, la 924 permet à Porsche d'élargir sa clientèle. Présentée en 1982, la 944 poursuit cette voie avec un grand succès commercial, tout en restant fidèle à l'image de la marque. La 968, dévoilée en 1991, constitue la dernière évolution de cette famille, restée près de vingt ans au catalogue.

Cet ouvrage retrace l'histoire de la 944, ainsi que celle des 924 et 968 :
- leur origine,
- les différentes versions,
- les données techniques,
- les modèles de compétition,
- les modèles dérivés,
- les concurrentes,
- et une biographie de Ferdinand Porsche, qui éclaire l'histoire, la rigueur et la passion animant la marque de Stuttgart depuis sa création.

Porsche 924 - All models (1976-1988) - Essential Buyer's Guide

The Porsche 924 models were built from 1976 to 1988, and grew from relatively modest performance 2+2 coupes to fire breathing turbo rally and racing cars achieving success in many forms of motorsport. The models have many excellent points; however, as with any car that is 30 years old, there are also some negatives to be considered.
This balance is discussed, along with the reality of living with a 924, what to look for in any potential purchases.

Porsche 928, 924, 944 and 968 - The Front Engined Sports Cars

This book begins its analysis with the creation of the Porsche 924 and the impact it made on the automotive world. During the 1980s, Porsche honed earlier 924 designs to create the 944 and its Turbo and convertible variants, and later the 968, completing a line that has produced some of the most respected sports cars of the modern era.

The text also follows in detail the long production life and development of Porsche's V-8 powered high performance grand tourer, the 928 - introduced in 1977, named the 1978 European Car of the Year and culminating in the 350 bhp 928 GTS of the 1990s.

This history of the dynamic Porsche family gives a full account of each model and reveals the unique contributions each has made to a constantly evolving automotive world.

Porsche 924 - Die perfekte Balance

Front engine, water cooling, a real trunk. The transaxle models have shown that Porsche can do something completely different. The 924, as the first representative of the new sports car generation from Zuffenhausen, had the biggest task: It had to do everything right, convince fans of the brand, new car buyers and critical testers of the concept.

The 924 did it. Thanks to the turbo and large four-cylinder engine, the popular sports car became a serious sports and racing car and ultimately a small Gran Turismo for connoisseurs. It was even enough to compete successfully in rally and race track racing and to make a statement at Le Mans. At this point, the 924 proved that it, which had been developed as a Volkswagen, deserved the name Porsche.

Automotive journalist and Porsche Driver editor-in-chief Jan-Henrik Muche traces the career of the first Porsche with a front engine in this meticulously researched model monograph.
The standard work on the transaxle sports car, which has long since become a classic, deals in detail with its development history and shows the wealth of variants of the model that was conceived as the successor to the 911: starting with the 924 and the Turbo version to the Carrera GT and GTS as well as the special models that are so sought after today, this book conveys the fascination of the then future model from Zuffenhausen with many facts, based on many previously unpublished photos and some photos taken especially for this book.

As unusual as the vehicles built between 1975 and 1995 was the style with which Porsche attracted attention in its public relations work; the catalogues of that time have long been collector's items - just like the vehicles they describe.
