The first thing that strikes you when you pick up the book is the quality of the production that oouzes out. The engraved slip case is typical of the high standards of reproduction that match the quality of the content.<\/p>\n

Barth & Singer<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The Forewords are written by two figures who have been central to the story of the 911 in competition, J\u00fcrgen Barth and Norbert Singer. This is supplemented by the story of Michael and his relationship with the Porsche 911, from 1966 to the present day.<\/p>\n

The content follows on in a chronological order. I especially enjoyed the sections dealing with the early years. The opening double page spread showing Eberhard Mahle completely sideways on the Rossfield Hillclimb back in 1966 makes you imagine that you can hear the throttle, full on, no lifting. Another favourite is the chapter on the customer developments of the 935, which grew more radical with the evolutions of the “Moby Dick” concept.<\/p>\n

The 959 programme is also covered with the various developments both on and off road as are the GT1 projects.<\/p>\n

The final chapters look at the recent 911 GT3-R Hybrid and another of my favourite pieces, 911 In Posters <\/em>that are extremely evocative.<\/p>\n

So if you are a 911 nut, this book is for you. Well written, well illustrated and well produced it has a place on any Porsche bookshelf.<\/p>\n
