As a marque, Porsche has existed only since 1948, but the prototype designed by Ferdinand Porsche was the hit of the Paris exposition in 1900.
The fascinating thing about Porsches is that they are engineers' cars. In designing the car, stylists and market researchers have their say, but they are never allowed to dominate the engineers. And what the engineers want, even in a 200-mph sports car, is reliability. That is why Porsches win races, and that is why Porsches are among the most desirable - for some people, the ultimate - sports cars of all time.
Through the highly informed text and numerous superb full-color photographs, Porsche examines the surprisingly complex history of Porsche cars. It covers 'prehistory' with the Lohner-Porsche and Porsche's designs for Daimler, Steyr, Auto-Union, and Volkswagen; the 356 that first bore the Porsche name; the 911, introduced in 1964 and still visibly the foundation of the awesome 959; the 924/928/944 series of water-cooled, front-engine cars; and the seemingly endless stream of 'pure' racers, so-called even though with Porsche the distinction between road and race often seems irrelevant.
