Porsche:
Excellence Was Expected: The Comprehensive History of the Company, its
Cars and its Racing Heritage
by Karl E. Ludvigsen
Book Description: When the first edition of Porsche: Excellence
Was Expected was published in 1977, reviewers sang high praises for author
Karl Ludvigsen and his monumental book. Now Ludvigsen surpasses these achievements
with this fully updated edition which includes augmented and edited versions
of the 32 chapters from the 1977 book, as well as an additional 29 chapters
that cover Porsche's history through 2002. This three-volume, 1,566-page
set contains the photos and artwork from the original version, enhanced
by over 742 new black and white photos and 50 new color drawings of Porsche
production and racing cars which were commissioned specifically for this
updated edition. Author Ludvigsen has outdone himself in presenting the
inner workings, masterpieces and failures of an independent automaker that
has exerted a disproportionately powerful influence on the automotive industry.
If the first edition was "the definitive archetypal marque history, " (Michael
Scarlett, Autocar) this revision and update is much more so. Ludvigsen's
masterwork is once again set to achieve new milestones, just as the company
it chronicles continues to shape our very definition of the term "sports
car."

Porsche
: The Road from Zuffenhausen
by Dennis Adler
Book Description:
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.
