Porsche: Excellence Was Expected, 4 Volume Set, 2019 Edition

Description

Porsche: Excellence Was Expected, 4 Volume Set, 2019 Edition, Karl Ludvigsen’s masterwork, is the unrivaled history of the Porsche company, its cars, and its motor racing heritage from the first Gmund coupe in 1948 through its sixty years as an independent car company to its continued success with the 2020 Taycan under the auspices of the Volkswagen Group.

Over 40 years ago, Ludvigsen’s first edition of Porsche: Excellence Was Expected was first hailed as the definitive archetypal marque history, and updates in 2003 and 2008 continued to reinforce that reputation.

For this final update, the first in over 10 years, Ludvigsen reviewed newly to be had Porsche archival material, conducted new in-depth interviews, and unearthed many fresh facts that allowed new and infrequently surprising interpretations of many aspects of the Porsche company and its cars.

Now in four volumes, 2,836 pages and with nearly 3,000 photos and illustrations, each page of this all new updated edition has been revised and redesigned.

Remarkable both for its breadth of coverage and its technical depth, Porsche: Excellence Was Expected covers each road and racing car from the first Gmünd coupe through the development of the 2020 all-electric Taycan.
