Taking an in-depth look at Porsche's 997-series, this book builds on Veloce's previous five volumes of Definitive History, to build a set that records the entire history of the legendary 911 - one of the worlds most recognisable cars.As with earlier titles, Brian Long examines in detail the road cars that sold in all the world's major markets, as well as the numerous competition cars that have represented the Stuttgart marque in racing and ralying over the years.Using contemporary photography and archive material to richly illustrate each page, the background, concept, and birth of the 997 is revealed. With detailed appendices giving year-by-year range details, engine specifications and chassis numbers, and worlwide production figures, this really is the definitive history of the 911.
