Porsche Carrera follows the development and design of the Carrrera
car dynasty, from the origins of the Carrera line in the 550 and
356 models through the highly tuned race cars of the 1960s to the
largely hand-crafted, air-cooled cars of the 1970s and the 1980s.
The book features detailed profiles of all Carrera models,
including roadgoing and race models, prototypes, special builds and
rare cars; in-depth explorations of the engineering and tuning of
the cars and buyer's guides for the different models. Also included
are a series of interviews with racing drivers such as Sir Stirling
Moss, Derek Bell, John Surtees and Gijs van Lennep, and key Carrera
figures such as designer Richard Soderberg and Klaus Bischof, head
of the Porsche Rolling Museum. The foreword is by Jurgen Barth and
there are over 400 colour photographs, many specially commissioned.
