Porsche – Origin of the Species, with Foreword by Jerry Seinfeld

Description

Porsche – Origin of the Species, the award-winning hardcover offered here, is another great Porsche heritage book by the eminent automotive historian and author Karl Ludvigsen.

As preface, within Jerry Seinfeld’s famous Porsche collection resides an unassuming yet extraordinary piece of Porsche history:  Porsche Gmünd coupe 356/2-040.

Born in Porsche’s rickety-sawmill-turned-car-assembly-hall at Gmünd, Austria, this extraordinary Gmünd 356 specimen is pictured on the book’s slipcover, as captured by acclaimed automotive photographer Michael Furman.

So it goes that the cornerstone of the Seinfeld collection serves as the inspiration for Porsche – Origin of the Species.

Hence many, many questions are inevitably begged as to that “origin.”

Author of the award-winning Porsche: Excellence Was Expected and Ferdinand Porsche: Genesis of Genius, Mr. Ludvigsen deftly tackles these revelatory questions, and more, in Porsche – Origin of the Species.

The book is an in-depth exploration by Karl Ludvigsen into the specific influences and circumstances that brought forth the first sports cars to sport Porsche badging.

Consequently, the book is a must-have acquisition for your Porsche literary collection.  It makes a great gift, too, as a coveted addition to any serious car enthusiast or Porschephile’s cocktail table.
