Written by Porsche insider and Le Mans-winner Jurgen Barth with co-author Gustav Busing, "The Porsche Book: The Complete History of Types and Models", is a massive, three-volume set, and is the ultimate technical history of all Porsche cars and designs, from the most famous sports cars to the most obscure prototypes. Originally published in 1977, this is the first English-language edition of "The Porsche Book" in 25 years. Complete descriptions of each model's specifications, from 1948 through the present day are complemented by details of upgrades and major options, and fascinating history on the company itself. This definitive account of Porsche's cars and design projects tells the whole story behind the cars from this legendary marque, and is an essential resource for all Porsche enthusiasts, especially those who are restoring, racing, or collecting vintage Porsches. Each volume is packed with previously unpublished photographs and illustrations, and tables featuring chassis numbers, engine numbers, specifications, and performance figures.
Jurgen Barth spent his entire career at Porsche. At the end of 2006 Barth retired from Porsche as director of the customer motorsports department. He continues to work on Porsche's behalf as racing director of the German Porsche Sports Cup, and assists the FIA in homologation matters involving historic Porsche race cars. Gustav Busing, born in 1944, was sports editor of the German trade journal, Auto Zeitung, before he and Lothar Boschen struck out on their own as freelance journalists and authors.
Volume 1 of The Porsche Book covers Porsche's 356 and 911, with all their production racing variants. Volume 2 addresses Porsche's mid- and front-engine cars (such as the 914, 924, and 944, as well as the contemporary Boxster, Cayenne, and Cayman) and also offers a complete list of more than 1,300 Porsche type numbers and related design projects ranging from engines and transmissions to tanks and outboard motors. Volume 3 comprises all of the company's pure-bred race cars, from the first Glockler Porsches of the early 1950s through the RS Spyder. Each volume is packed with previously unpublished photographs and illustrations, and tables featuring chassis numbers, engine numbers, specifications, and performance figures.
