When Ferry Porsche bestowed his name upon his newly found company in 1948, even he couldn’t have imagined the success it would go on to have. Since its inception, Porsche has become synonymous with high-performance luxury sportscars. From the earliest version models of the Carrera to the Cayenne, models released by the company have gone on to become icons of both style and sport.
The 70 Years of Porsche Sportscars book by Christina Rahmes and Josef Arweck is a beautiful piece for both the avid collector and casual fan alike. The book highlights the journey of the first-ever car to bear the Porsche name created in the Austrian town of Gmünd.
A mere 15 years later the boldfaced automobile brand created what would become its most memorable and enduring model, the 911.
The book offers a peek inside the evolution of the Porsche brand, telling the stories of those who made its history, such as designer F.A. Porsche, engine developer Ernst Fuhrmann, CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and even the legendary race car driver Walter Röhrl. Each page is beautifully illustrated for years of enjoyment.
