3.0 out of 5 stars
An overview of the major production models with color photos, November 11, 1997
This review is from: Porsche Chronicle (Hardcover)
One chapter is devoted to Ferdinand Porsche. Then a chapter is dedicated to each of the five major model families (356, 911/930/959/993, 914, 924/944/968, 928) . One chapter is dedicated to racing Porsches and then a final short chapter covers the "future" as envisioned in 1995. (Interesting quote: "Although the Boxster will never see production, many of its innovative ideas will come to fruition in the 986." Little did the authors know how Porsche marketing would revive the "Boxster" name! Lots of color phots make this an enjoyable book, but the need to cover so many cars makes it hard to provide much detail about any one line. If you're specifically interested in a particular car you might prefer a more focused book. For 911 enthusiasts, I'd recommend Peter Morgan's "Origiinal Porsche 911".
