Porsche 930 to 935: The Turbo Porsches (paperback)

In 1974, to rave reviews, Porsche produced the 930/911 Turbo to the public and set off on a new road. At the same time, the governing body of motorsport introduced a new 'silhouette' formula to sports car racing. Thus the immortal 934 and 935 were born.

This book tells the story of the 911 Turbo and its racing cousins, from the 1974 2.1-litre RSR Turbo Carrera to the tube-framed 750 horsepower final variants of the 935. These are the cars which still bring a gleam of pleasure to any of the drivers lucky enough to have sampled their enormous power and, sometimes, their wayward handling!

Now in paperback.

Powered by Porsche - The Alternative Race Cars

The Porsche company in Zuffenhausen, Germany, can probably be said to be the most successful marque ever for victories in the motor racing scene. Likewise many firsts in innovation have come with the name Porsche attached.
Then there are the builders of racing cars, some major producers, such as Elva, Lotus, Lola, March, all at some time featured a Porsche engine in their chassis.

In the late 1970s and into the 1980s, the demand for the services and supply of cars, chassis, and parts from Porsche, outstripped their ability to deliver. Plus with many new projects in the rapidly expanding Porsche organisation, race car projects had to be prioritised.

This would lead to the creation of the replicas, as opposed to the factory built works race cars, even Porsche was building 'replica' 935s to supply to clients, this was to continue into the 962 era.
In turn a whole new highly specialised high quality industry grew up to meet the demand for Porsche-powered racers.

In this book we see the racing cars, the teams and the people who turned to Porsche to utilise the power from, perhaps, the greatest of all engine makers.

This is thought to be first book on the subject, covering the entire history of Porsche engines, detailed engine specifications, non-Porsche chassis, and race details, as well as team history with anecdotes from drivers.
It is illustrated with many previously unpublished photos, and provides fascinating reading for the enthusiast and newcomer alike.

Porsche 936

For author Jürgen Barth, this book was a matter close to his heart. After all, the racing driver and long-time Porsche employee achieved the greatest success of his career with victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in a Porsche 936.

Together with his co-author Bernd Dobronz, he not only meticulously traces the creation and further development of this open sports prototype. All of the Porsche 936's factory appearances in the Sports Car World Championship races and the 24 Hours of Le Mans are also reported on in an exciting and informative manner based on the records made by the engineers at the time.

The result is not only a monograph of a hitherto neglected successful model in Porsche's racing history. The authors have also succeeded in telling the stories surrounding the triumphs and tragedies of that time, thereby capturing the flair of a special era in racing.

The list of the most important people and drivers inseparably connected with the Porsche 936, an overview of all races contested with the Porsche 936 and related models, as well as precisely researched vehicle histories of the 908/03 Turbo and 936 models impressively round off this unique historical document.
