Meredith's pictorial account of Porsche road cars celebrates the innovative engineering and imaginative design that distinguish the narrow range of superlative sportscars the company has produced over the last 50 years. All the familiar, famous models are illustrated and described - the 356, the 911, the 924. The author also features rare, sometimes unique Porsches that show the versatility of these race-inspired machines. Porsche Road Cars takes the story from the company's foundation in the 1940s, through the classic period of the 1950s, '60s and '70s when the 356 and the 911 dominated production, to the modern era when the company has confirmed its reputation with the Boxster.
