Porsche is one of the most important and iconic automotive manufacturers in history. From its first 356 to today's technical tour de force, the 918, Porsche has advanced from strength to strength for nearly seven decades.

In "Porsche 70 Years: There is No Substitute", author Randy Leffingwell offers a richly illustrated and detailed book that captures the full story of one of the world's leading automotive companies. Beautiful, contemporary, photos and rare historical images accompany in-depth analyses of milestone cars and events.

Created with Porsche's cooperation, the book brings to light the engineering anddesign stories behind Stuttgart's most famous cars - such as the 356, 904, 917, 911, 928, 935, 956 and others - as well as its key players.
Comprising the most comprehensive overview of the company's entire history, "Porsche 70 Years" truly has no substitute.

Regarded as one of the great automotive engineers of the twentieth century, Ferdinand Porsche is well remembered today for his remarkable automotive designs including the Volkswagen Beetle and Auto Union Grand Prix cars.
Yet there is another side to his extraordinary career, for he was an equally inventive designer of military vehicles and machinery. In this field too he excelled. Indeed the sheer versatility of his contribution is astonishing. Karl Ludvigsen's study is the definitive guide.

He tells the complete story, focusing on Porsche's relations with the German armed forces and on the stream of advanced designs he was responsible for. Included are Austro Daimler's pioneering aero engines, the Kübelwagen, Schwimmwagen, Type 100 Leopard tank, Ferdinand or Elefant tank destroyer and the astounding Type 205 Maus tank.
He also describes Porsche's creative work on aero engines, tank engines and even a turbojet for the V-1 flying bomb.

Karl Ludvigsen's account confirms the pre-eminence of Ferdinand Porsche as a brilliant and prolific engineer, one of the most remarkable of his generation.

In "Ferdinand Porsche - Genesis of Genius", author Karl Ludvigsen reveals a dynamic young innovator who helped to chart the course of the automobile through the first decades of the twentieth century.
As early as 1900, at the age of 25, Ferdinand Porsche pioneered hybrid technology to power his automobile designs. Once gasoline gained dominance as the power-source of choice, Porsche became relentless in his goal to design the fastest and most durable automobiles in Europe.

Porsche's engineering brilliance did not stop at the automobile. He also made significant contributions to the early development of airplane engines and military transport vehicles. And in addition to his hands-on style of engineering, Ferdinand Porsche was a tireless managing executive in the automotive industry.

Many previously unpublished photos from the Porsche family archives.

In 1931 Ferdinand Porsche started his own business in a rented office in Stuttgart's Kronenstrasse thus laying the foundation for today's Porsche brand. Since then, the name Porsche has been closely associated with development projects for customers worldwide.
Porsche Engineering continues this tradition with innovative solutions and a high level of digitalization expertise in an international network of locations.

Car modifier b+b Auto, founded 1973 in Frankfurt by Rainer Buchmann and his brother Dieter, caused a stir in the 1980's European and international car scene by their technical innovations as well as their spectacular design. Initially focussed on Porsche cars b+b became established through their Porsche Turbo Targa with prismatic colours varnish presented at the Polaroid stand on Fotokina 1976 Cologne.
At IAA Frankfurt 1979 they launched b+b CW 311, a contemporary modification of the legendary Mercedes 300 SL. Mercedes-Benz was so enthusiastic about the car that they allowed Buchmann to continue using the Mercedes star as a brand logo.
During the 1980s, b+b was one of the most successful modifiers of production cars into individual luxury vehicles for those who could afford it - customers from the Arab world as well as celebrities from the Jet-Set...

However Buchmann's real passion belonged to the area of electronic innovations, and the money he earned with his tuning activities was invested into research in this field. He was the first to think about centralised door locking by means of remote control as well as park distance control and he invented the first car computers. In 1983 his multi-function steering wheel was protected by patent.

This comprehensive book, produced in close cooperation with Merck Group, one of the world's leading chemical companies for whom Buchmann popularized a new and special kind of bright enamel varnish, presents the complete history of Rainer Buchmann's technical and entrepreneurial achievements.

Seit 70 Jahren ist Porsche ein Synonym für Sportwagenbau auf höchstem Niveau. Am 8. Juni 1948 erhielt das erste Automobil mit dem Namen Porsche seine Zulassung: der 356 "Nr.1" Roadster. Die Geburtsstunde der Marke Porsche.

Dieser Band der "Edition Porsche-Museum" beschäftigt sich mit der gesamten Geschichte des Sportwagenbauers aus Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen. Von den Wurzeln über die verschiedenen Modelle und Rennsporteinsätze bis hin zur Zukunft findet sich hier ein wahrer Schatz an automobilgeschichtlichen Fakten im kompakten und dennoch opulenten Format.

Die Stars auf jedem Bild: Sportwagen, nach denen sich jeder Sammler die Finger leckt, vom Porsche 906 aus den Sechzigern bis zum modernen Carrera GT - "A Tribute to 70 Jahre Porsche".

Der faszinierende Bildband über die Kurvenjagd und den Traum vom sportlichen Fahren

After the overwhelming success of "Cars & Curves" Volume 1, a fireworks of rare models and breathtaking routes on occasion of the 70th Porsche anniversary, Stefan Bogner goes for the next one.
Even the most dedicated fans of sports cars from Zuffenhausen must wonder: How do Bogner and his team manage to photograph this exquisite choice of the best and rarest Porsche models? These are the 908, 962, 718 Spyder, Carrera Abarth and many more. And it's neither a studio shooting nor in front of a static background, no, the photos of the otherwise closely guarded valuables were taken at full speed and regardless of consequences.

Each car is carefully staged, sometimes the pictures are even taken from a helicopter. Powerfully written texts by Ben Winter complement the fascinating photos and make the impressive routes feel like the real thing - as if you were at the wheel. What are you waiting for? Leaf through, buckle up and drive off!

When car companies present studies and prototypes, they allow a glimpse behind the scenes, a vision of what will come or might come. Apart from what is shown on official events and at fairs, there is an overwhelming number of drafts and models, that remain hidden from the public for various reasons. This book achieves the impossible: a look at Porsche cars the public never laid eyes on - Porsche Unseen.

Stefan Bogner was exclusively allowed to take pictures in the Porsche Design sanctum, aha-experiences guaranteed. The Porsche DNA is recognisable in any of the models shown, but the design is so new and unexpected that it suggests the existence of a parallel universe.
A 1-litre Porsche? A coupé-like four seater with 911-looks? Single-seated roadsters with 50's flair? Stefan Bogner took photos of all of them - either as models or ready to drive. Jan Baedeker talked with Michael Mauer, Head of Design, and took down the enlightening background information.
