Porsche Sports Car

A lavishly illustrated history of the most recognized sports-car maker in the world--Porsche--a story that began more than a century ago. Porsche: The Road from Zuffenhausen is the first book in more than twenty-five years to chronicle in such meticulous detail the early years of the renowned automobile company. Perfect for the more than 500,000 Porsche owners and the millions of Porsche enthusiasts, Porsche is a lively narrative of the cars and the people who created them. In the opening chapters, the reader will find the true heart of Porsche and its dedication to design and engineering, and then move on to the pre-World War II development of the first Porsche prototypes, as well as the development of the Volkswagen by Professor Ferdinand Porsche in the late 1930s. The story of the company's early postwar years in Austria is a tale of commitment to an idea, an idea that resulted in the first 356 model and in a very short time established Porsche as one of Germany's leading car makers. Here is the entire history not only of the 356 but also of the development of competition versions, and of the evolution of the 550 RSK and the legendary 904 Carrera GTS. The story of the 911 occupies half the book, as this model has survived for nearly four decades--the longest production of any single postwar automobile design. The narrative is brilliantly complemented by wonderful historical documents and photographs from the factory archives, provided through the cooperation of Porsche AG and the Porsche family, as well as original color photography by the author.

Porsche 356 - The Porsche 356 was a Porsche sports car sold from 1948 through 1965, and Porsche's first production automobile. It was preceded by the Porsche 64, which has lead to some argument over which car is officially the first Porsche, although the Type 64 was never mass-produced and was never much more than a driveable test-mule.

Porsche 930 - The 930 (usually pronounced nine-thirty) was a sports car built by Porsche, 930 actually being the "Type Number" for the pre-964 generation 911 Turbo produced between 1975 and 1989. It was Porsche's top-of-the-range model for its entire production duration and at the time of its introduction was the fastest production car available in Germany.

Porsche 911 - The Porsche 911 is a sports car made by Porsche AG of Stuttgart, Germany. The famous, distinctive and durable car has undergone continous development since its introduction in 1964.

Porsche 936 - The Porsche 936 was introduced in 1976 by Porsche as a successor to the Porsche 908 to compete in the FIA Group 6 sports car world championship, which it won (as did the Porsche 935 in its championship) . The open top, two seater spyder was powered by a 2140cc 540 hp turbocharged flat-6 engine.
