Description
Celebrate six decades of rear-engine excellence with this beautifully illustrated exploration of 60 milestone Porsche 911s.
Porsche's 911 is the quintessential sports car-focused, purposeful, race-proven, and exciting. Since its prototype debut in 1963, the 911 has defied expectations while never losing its form or its giant-slaying heart.
In Porsche 911 60 Years, best-selling Porsche author Randy Leffingwell delves into the stories of sixty 911s-one from each year from 1964 to 2024. The 911's entire history-engineering, design, development, racing, and culture-is revealed one fantastic car at a time. This unique approach to the 911's legacy includes such icons as:
1964 901 Cabriolet prototype
Bruce Jennings 1967 911 S
1971 911 S Safari
Louise Piech 1975 930 Turbo
Le Mans-winning 1980 935 K3
1987 Ruf CTR Yellowbird
1991 964 Carrera RS
1997 Ruf Turbo R
1998 996 GT1 Le Mans winner
2006 50th Anniversary Porsche Club of America 911 coupe
2010 911 Sport Classic
2018 Turbo S Exclusive
2023 Dakar
And many more
Porsche 911 60 Years is also the story of the people behind the cars: Ferdinand "Butzi" Porsche, who co-designed the 911's timeless shape and his successors, Anatole Lapine, Harm Laggaaij, and Michael Mauer; Peter W. Schutz, the Porsche CEO who saved the 911 from the cutting-room floor and the Porsche leaders who carried on, most notably Wendelin Wiedeking; engineering geniuses such as Dr. Helmuth Bott, Hans Mezger, and Valentin Schaeffer; and stylists and modelers Gerhard Schroeder, Heinrich Klie, Peter Reisinger, Anthony Hatter, and Grant Larson.
Each profiled car is accompanied by historic photography from Porsche's own archive, and beautiful, contemporary photography features throughout. Porsche 911 60 Years is an essential volume for any Porsche owner or fan's collection.
Author Biography:
Randy Leffingwell wrote his first book, American Muscle, while still on staff at the Los Angeles Times. The book examined Times' publisher Otis Chandler's growing collection of muscle cars. American Muscle published in September 1990, jump-started a love of book creation that ultimately led Leffingwell to leave the Times in 1995. By then, he and Motorbooks had published Porsche Legends, and six other books.
Since 1990, Leffingwell has authored more than 60 titles, most of them automotive-oriented. Over 30-plus years, these include a dozen Porsche titles ranging from general overviews-Porsche 75 Years: Expect the Unexpected, and The Complete Book of Porsche 911-to deeper explorations in Porsche Turbo and Porsche 911: 50 Years. During this time, he has regularly traveled to Germany to continue his research regarding Porsche's history. To date, Leffingwell has interviewed more than 200 Porsche engineers, stylists, model makers, racers, and managers.
While he has tackled other subjects including John Deere tractors, Harley-Davidson motorcycles, and West Coast lighthouses, Leffingwell admits he is almost addicted to the Porsche story. In addition to his book work, he is historical editor for 000 magazine and PorschePanorama. And for the past decade he has been researching and writing an encyclopedic history of Porsche's motorsports endeavors.
Leffingwell lives near Santa Barbara, California.
