Best Porsche Coffee Table Books
April 27, 2024
Here are our best Porsche coffee table books for this month.
They enrich the reader with further knowledge, facts and figures on Porsche — our favorite subject, of course.
Known as cocktail table books as well, our best Porsche coffee table books displayed in your home or office also showcase your Porsche personality and interests, inspiring conversation among guests about a variety of topics relating to the marque.
Most important, though, is the fact that these best shortlisted coffee table books were chosen for their content within, as well as for their subtle invitation to judge them as books by their beautiful cover artwork and photography.
In fact, their beautiful dustjackets speak volumes without the books ever having to be cracked open to reveal their inner richness.
FYI, a further in-depth analysis of each listed book can be accessed simply by clicking on The StuttgartDNA Report and Review in the For Further Study info box at the end of each book entry. This is a great way to take a deeper dive into the subject book.
Missing For Further Study info boxes under some items indicate that an in-depth analysis is pending completion by our StuttgartDNA team for that item.
Here are this month’s latest and greatest…

Porsche 911: 50 Years
In Porsche 911: 50 Years, best-selling author Randy Leffingwell celebrates a half-century of one of the world’s premiere sports cars, focusing on the major themes that have defined Porsche’s rear-engined wonder.
Porsche 911: 50 Years tells the whole story — design and development, racing, engineering and technology, style and culture.
Beyond telling the story of the cars, Porsche 911: 50 years also spotlights the people behind them.
Together, all of these facets make Porsche 911: 50 Years the most essential book in any Porsche owner or fan’s library.

StuttgartDNA is supported by viewers like you to keep access to our content entirely free. This means we may earn a modest commission as you purchase through links on this or any other page — but at no additional expense nor risk to you.
How Does Availability Impact Book Ratings?
Availability plays some role in whether or not a book appears on any of our Best shortlists.
For example, any given book may be of outstanding 5-star quality, but if it is next to impossible to obtain for a relatively reasonable market price, then there’s no way it can find its way onto our Best shortlists.
But if you do happen upon an attractive pre-owned book or any other used product through our website, then buyer assumes all risk and shall hold StuttgartDNA harmless from any liability that may arise from the actual condition of said purchased item.
