Porsche Rennsport: The Definitive Photographic Record of the Racing Sports Cars of Porsche 1949–2004
by Jeffrey R. Zwart
This is one of those books that will make you break out in a sweat—hot, cold, who cares—but you absolutely must have dry hands to handle this book so as to avoid getting sticky fingerprints all over the glossy pages.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class Owner’s Bible 1986–1995
by Stu Ritter
The early 1980s were a tough time for automakers. It was into this largely dismal automotive landscape that Mercedes-Benz introduced the 300E to the US market in 1986.
Porsche 917: The Complete Photographic History
by Glen Smale
“I could have been a contender!” Words to that effect were surely muttered in Porsche’s boardroom in 1968 when their cars, successful as they were in other types of motorsports, simply didn’t have the legs to be competitive in endurance racing.
Porsche Moments: Photographs from Europe and Mexico 1953–1962
by Jesse Alexander
To anyone with a love of motorsport at the time we have come to think of as the sport’s golden age, names of photographers like Alexander are household names.
Porsche 718 + 804: An Adventure into Formula One During the 1.5 Litre Era
by Födisch, Neßhöver, Behrndt, Roßbach
This large and heavy book fills a gap in the panoply of literature on individual Porsche models. Maybe the reason for the previous lack of coverage is that these particular models had such an uncommonly short lifespan.
Porsche Showroom Posters: The First 25 Years
by Everett Anton Singer
Historically, Porsche has actively used graphics and visual aids to promote its racing successes along with its charismatic line of road-going sportscars, particularly in its early years
Porsche 908: The Long Distance Runner
by Födisch, Neßhöver, Roßbach, Schwarz
The 908 was the company’s first car to have an engine of the maximum size the regulations allowed at the time of its inception, 3 liters. It was an important car in its day but is often overlooked nowadays, especially as it is overshadowed by its successor.
Racing for Mercedes-Benz, A Dictionary of the 240 Fastest Drivers of the Marque
by Hartmut Lehbrink
The firm we know now as Mercedes-Benz is among the longest-lived and most storied marques in the automotive firmament. Naturally, racing is a key element in its success, and here, for the first time, is a compendium of the names that made it so.
Porsche: Brochures and Sales Literature, A Source Book 1948–1965
by S Miller & R Merritt
Now in its 3rd edition, this book has been revised and expanded twice since it was first published in 1978. As with most books of this type, the mere act of publishing brings forth additional information. Sometimes the volume of new material, coupled with the popularity (and sales) of the book, warrant these subsequent editions.
Two in Celebration of the Porsche Speedster
It is obvious from the first page that these two books—produced concurrently—were both labors-of-love and adventurous projects. They were conceived to salute and honor a particular Porsche on (as the title of one clearly indicates) the occasion of its fiftieth birthday.
The Porsche Art Book
by Edwin Baaske (Editor)
Even if Porsches leave you cold and you dismiss the whole “car as art” issue as contrived, you will want to meet these artists and see how they work and think.
Carrera RS 964
by Christoph Mäder
An RS almost needs no explanation. Nor does this author’s name. Nor does this book, but we will anyway. For anyone who loves books no matter what they’re about, this one is highly aspirational.
