This book is packed with useful information and facts about the Porsche 924, 944 and 968. Do not let the small format of the book put you off as it is a real mine of information. Michael Cotton's writing style is fluid and easy to read. I could not put it down and am forever diving back into it to learn something new. The images showing the early development and design models are fascinating, as are the Porsche personalities we meet throughout the book. Rare models are covered in good detail and the author is not afraid to talk about the less successful developments. Readers who are interested in Porsche's racing history will be treated to an in depth account of how this model was campaigned. This is a very good book which could have only been improved by some colour photographs and more detailed production information. For anybody interested in this model, I fully recommend this book. The author has done a superb job of proving what a `real Porsche' these cars are and packs the book with excellent advice for the first time owner.

This was a Christmas gift for my husband who has a 944 Turbo...he says he had been thinking about getting this book so it was a nice surprise. He enjoys it a lot!

I wasn't sure at first if this would give him much info. about his Turbo, but he is very pleased with this book, so,enough said!

Since I own a 1987 Porsche 924S that is in very good condition, I wanted more information on the car and the general history of the same family of sportscars.
The book is very factual and interesting to read as well as enjoyable for the many photographs that provide a great deal of information. It does not cover the mechanicals as much as I had hoped but it obviously was not intended to be a shop manual.
I must say that I agree with the author that as a sportcar, they are fun to drive and are relatively robust when driven as they were intended to be.

This book is a comprehensive study of the 924, 944, and 968. I like the idea that the book will fit in the small Porsche glovebox so that I can keep it at arms reach for quick reference. The photographs are all well done and it illustrates some of the more unusual options available.

Information in the book brought together years, models, engines, performance, and dollar guides for a better understanding of these Porsche types. Recommended for a novice as well as long time car buffs.

this book has a lot of information about the 3 cars wish pics were color and had had more info on soft tops. I have a 1990, 944 S2 and would love detailed electrical and mechanical for it.Hayes mannuals only go to 1989.
