The complete story of the innovative, iconic and enduring Porsche Carrera. Although considered a classic car, the 911 continues in production today and the 1,000,000th 911 is at the Porsche Museum, Zuffenhausen. This book takes the reader on a journey from the development of its risky water-cooled design through its racing success and continued production today, to practical maintenance and modification. A true homage to the Porsche Carrera, covering the concept, design and evolution of the 996,997 and 991, and including an interview with harm Lagaaji, stylist in the Porsche design studios. Other interviews include racing drivers - past and present - Mike Wilds, Timo Bernhard, Richard Attwood, Richard Westbrook, Mario Andretti, Hans-Joachim Stuck, Wolf Henzler, Brendon Hartley and Peter Dumbreck. There is a section on how to buy, maintain and modify a Porsche Carrera and the book is superbly illustrated with 420 colour photographs many of which were taken by renowned car photographer, Antony Fraser.
