Description

Authors: Clauspeter Becker, Jurgen Lewandowski and Herbert Volker, Hardbound, 160 Pages, ISBN: 9783768809665, First English Edition, 1996  **Second-Hand book in good condition**

It is not very often that Porsche puts a totally new car on the road - every twenty years or so, perhaps - and it is therefore no surprise to find those who love the sports cars from Zuffenhausen anxiously and enthusiastically awaiting the new Boxster.

A design study for this new mid-engined roadster caused a sensation at its first public appearance at the Detroit Motor Show: The successful combination of visual echoes from the glorious past of "Porsche Number One" and the "550 Spyder" and of youthful avant-garde homage to the present was so attractive that it was bound to give rise to the call for a series-production version.

In this book three well-known authors, together with outstanding photographers, had the rare chance of experiencing the birth of the new Porsche in close-up - it was only this closeness (which the company sought and supported) that made it possible to document the exciting, tense, and dynamic period in which the Boxster evolved from a study to a completely new Porsche generation. From the first drawing to the first full-scale model, from the first market analysis to the press launch, from the first experimental vehicles to the advertising campaign - this book contains the true story of the new Boxster, the perfect complement to the legendary 911.

Clauspeter Becker
Clauspeter Becker has been writing since 1957 about everything that moves itself and him by mechanical means, and has been on the staff of "auto motor und sport" magazine for the past 25 years. He considers the description of technical subject-matter to be a craft, in which objects such as engines are dismantled and vividly explained before the reader's eyes.

Jurgen Lewandowski
Jurgen Lewandowski has been informing the readers of the "Siiddeutsche Zeitung" about everything to do with cars, mobility and how we deal with these two subjects for more than 17 years - during that time several TV films, about 30 books and a particularly strong attraction to automobile history have come into existence.

Herbert Volker
Herbert Volker is an enthusiastic resident of Vienna, where he has built up the "Autorevue" into a fine magazine with a high European reputation. As an author of books, he has concentrated especially on motor sport. After an early romance with rallies, he is now interested in every one of the topic-areas that make the subject of cars, sport and history more complex and more human.
