In The Complete Book of Porsche 911, author and photographer Randy Leffingwell provides a year-by-year overview of Stuttgart's most famous car, from the original 901 prototype to today's technologically advanced GT2 and GT3 derivatives and the latest 992-generation 911. Along the way, he highlights the racing, prototype, and limited-production cars-offering the most complete reference available to these top-tier sports cars.

In this book, you'll find the air-cooled cars of 1963 to 1998, then the water-cooled 911s of 1998 to present day.

Reviews for The Complete Book of Porsche 911: Every Model Since 1964

As wonderfully complete as it is photographed, it makes a fine addition to any gearhead's library, even if you're not that into 911s. If you are (and most of us are) it's simply a must-have on its own. -- Tony Borroz * Automoblog * The Complete Book of Porsche 911 should be considered a worthy purchase for any Porsche owner or enthusiast's bookshelf, especially if they don't already possess an earlier edition. * Porsche Club of America * An absolute 'must' for the legions of dedicated Prosche owners and enthusiasts * Midwest Book Review *
