Description

By: Brian Long .

It's hard to believe, but the Porsche 911 was launched over 40 years ago in 1963 as the 901. Since then, many pretenders to its throne have come and gone, yet the 911 has remained the epitome of the essential sportscar, and one of the most desirable cars of all time.

So, what are the secrets of the 911's everlasting youth? The answers are simple: superb original design, excellent build quality, and continuous development which has kept the 911 right on the leading edge of sportscar design.

The 911's longevity, ever-changing specification, race and rally record, and major presence in so many of the world's markets, make the 911 story much too big to tell in a single book. This is the fmal volume in a five-book series - each book complete in itself and covering a defined period - which chronicles the 911's story in definitive detail, and is the 'must have' total reference for all 911 enthusiasts.

This fifth volume looks at each of the 911 models and their derivatives from 1997 to 2004, beginning in late 1997 with the introduction of the 996 models and ending with a preview of 2005 model year cars, taking in the various specials and competition cars along the way.

The author and publisher are grateful for Porsche's unstinting support for this project. Virtually all of the images portrayed in this book have been sourced from the official Porsche archive, thus ensuring complete originality for historial reference.
