Description: 330 page hardcover, 11" X 9" to accommodate themany great horizontal photos.A lavishly illustrated history of the most recognized sports-car maker in the world.Porsche: The Road from Zuffenhausen chronicles in meticulous detail the early years of the renowned automobile company in a lively narrative of the cars and the people who created them. From the World War II development of the first Porsche prototypes, on to the development of the Volkswagen by Professor Ferdinand Porsche in the late 1930s. The early postwar years in Austria produced the first 356 model and in a very short time established Porsche as one of Germany's and the world's leading car makers. Here is the entire history not only of the 356 but also of the development of competition versions, and of the evolution of the 550 RSK and the legendary 904 Carrera GTS. The story of the 911 occupies half the book, as this model has survived for nearly four decades-the longest production of any single postwar automobile design. The narrative is brilliantly complemented by wonderful historical documents and photographs from the factory archives, provided through the cooperation of Porsche AG and the Porsche family, as well as original color photography by the author.
