Porsche Panamera - Von der Idee zur Perfektion

In 2009, an idea took shape that has already played a role in the history of the Porsche company several times - that of a powerful, four-door touring sedan that also has sporty genes.
This goal had already been almost achieved in 1988 with the 989 prototype, but for strategic reasons it was decided against series production. It would take more than twenty years before this vision became reality with the Porsche Panamera.

That the design of this fourth series was strongly reminiscent of the Porsche Cayenne? No coincidence. The Cayenne was not only the first series Porsche to have more than two doors, it also paved the way for the layout with a water-cooled front engine and rear or all-wheel drive.
The Panamera complemented these characteristics with extremely sporty handling, which brought it closer to the 911, as well as the luxurious interior, which turned it into a rolling business lounge. The second generation, available from 2016, refined the range in every respect and also expanded the engine range with advanced hybrid technology.
This book invites you to explore the path the Porsche Panamera has taken so far.

Porsche Taycan - Der erste vollelektrische Porsche

Spectacularly announced in 2015, on the roads from 2020: the Porsche Taycan, the first fully electric Porsche model. Instead of the iconic roar of the combustion engine, the heart of two powerful electric motors with a specially composed sound beats under its hood.
Nevertheless, the luxury car carries the typical Porsche DNA in its sheet metal. Puristic, agile and incredibly fast, the electric Porsche is an open challenge to the market-dominating Tesla Model S.

This high-quality illustrated book documents the ambitious history of the most important Porsche model of modern times. From the first sketches to the presentation of the Taycan Turbo and Turbo S, it traces the development of the first Porsche electric car and portrays it in unique photographs and impressive texts.

Porsche Carrera GT

This book presents the fabulous Porsche Carrera GT, which is the result of an astonishing combination of ambitions and cutting-edge technologies.
Conceived in the euphoria following victory at the 1998 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Carrera GT's mission is to promote to the world the best that Porsche's experience and know-how can produce in the field of racing/road compromise.

Indeed, it takes absolute mastery of the conceptual and technical problems to put on the road and in its catalog in 2003 a 612 hp machine with a 10-cylinder V engine straight from the track. QED: Porsche could and should take the risk, because if the competition is necessarily limited to this level of excellence, it is not without weapons either.

This book describes the manufacturer's approach, from its bold initial choice of civilizing a "pure and hard" racing machine to the public presentation of the road machine, passing through all the phases of its manufacture, the most elaborate technologies, the stylistic options, the most severe tests and the problem of marketing such an exceptional beast of a race, which must remain so.
