Porsche 904, 906, 908, 909 et 910 : livres - histoire

Porsche Sports Racing Prototypes 1963-1971

NOUVEAU

Entre les années 1950 et 1971, la course d'endurance connut son âge d'or, et Porsche s'imposa comme un constructeur en pleine ascension. Progressant régulièrement, la marque passa de victoires de catégorie fiables à des succès au classement général, une position ensuite solidement établie.

Ce livre se concentre sur six modèles de course Porsche engagés entre 1963 et 1971 : 904, 906, 910, 907, 908 et 917. Ces voitures participèrent aux prototypes FIA Groupe 6, au Championnat du monde des voitures de sport Groupe 4 et aux courses de côte européennes. Les épreuves duraient de 6 à 24 heures ou étaient définies par des distances de 500 km, 1 000 km ou 500 miles, sur des circuits tels que Le Mans, le Nürburgring, Monza, Spa-Francorchamps, Brands Hatch, Daytona et Sebring.

Présentant chaque saison, cet ouvrage richement illustré retrace les nombreux succès de Porsche. Il réunit plus de 300 images de grande qualité, dont beaucoup inédites, issues de photographes professionnels et des archives de l'usine. Des entretiens avec d'éminents pilotes Porsche apportent un témoignage direct. La préface est signée par Gijs van Lennep, double vainqueur des 24 Heures du Mans. L'ensemble raconte l'ascension de Porsche vers la victoire absolue.

Porsche 904

The 904, its full name "Porsche 904 Carrera GTS", was a special Porsche model in many ways. Due to Ferdinand Porsche's unique design, the sports car is affectionately called "Butzi's masterpiece" and many still count it among the most appealing road racing cars ever.
In 1963 the Porsche 904 was brought to life in a record-breaking six months - including the time for development. And this is just one of the reasons that made the car a flagship of innovation.

For the homologation as a racing car, about 100 Porsche 904 were licensed as road vehicles and sold to private customers. The demand was so strong that the car soon became a highly exclusive rarity. The unique look of the Porsche design and the combination of technical innovations and low production costs added to the cult status of the Porsche 904 that lasts to the present day.
