The new beautifully illustrated celebration of the Porsche, 70 Years of Porsche Sportscars from Delius Klasing covers every aspect of Porsche since Ferry Porsche reinvented the spots car in 1948. Broken down into seven chapters, including lifestyle, technology, the company, models, people, motorsport and community, there is not one topic to be missed.
The book, like Porsche, is intoxicating, beautiful and intelligent. The first car to bear the Porsche name was made in the Austrian town of Gmünd. Just 15 years later Porsche presents the 911 – the brand’s iconic car. Many individuals play major roles in the history of the sports car maker: designer F. A. Porsche, engine developer Ernst Fuhrmann, CEO Wendelin Wiedeking, and legendary racing driver Walter Röhrl. Cult figures like Steve McQueen, James Dean, and Patrick Dempsey, also drive Porsches, and become synonymous with the brand.
