Norbert Singer – My Racing Life with Porsche 1970–2004
by Norbert Singer & Wilfried Müller
He almost became a rocket scientist. He almost went to Opel instead of Porsche. His very first assignment helped win Le Mans at a crucial time. No looking back now—his entire career was spent at Porsche, which would go on to win 16 overall race victories with cars in which he played a key role.
Porsche Werks Team
by Frank Kayser and Heike Hientzsch
Try doing any job for 24 hours straight, even as part of a supportive team, and you know the toll it takes. Basically a photo essay, this book offers many unusual, clever, inspiring visuals to capture the mood.
Racing the Silver Arrows
by Chris Nixon
Two German teams dominated Grand Prix racing because of their technical superiority made possible by enormous government investment into the racing programs but also the companies overall because of their military value.
Forty Six: The Birth of Porsche Motorsport
by Bill Wagenblatt (Editor)
Right in time for the 100th anniversary of the race at which this car won its class as Porsche’s first postwar works entry this book tells its colorful story in forensic detail. How the provenance of the car was proven is amazing, and it raises the bar for “doing right” by historically important vehicles.
Porsche 356 75th Anniversary
by Gordon Maltby
It took a while to get noticed by the masses but from its start in 1948 this Porsche combined attributes that would set it apart from others and make it a lasting success and the cornerstone of a company philosophy.
My Porsche Book: Die 356-Ikonen / The Iconic 356s
by René Staud
It’s the photographer as much as the car that is the attraction here, not least because Staud’s career path, philosophy on art/commerce, and his studio and team are covered.
Porsche Unseen: Design Studies
by Jan Karl Baedeker & Stefan Bogner
You’d have to be quite the Porsche geek to have known, let alone seen, any of the cars shown here. There are many more where these came from and one can only speculate why Porsche allowed these 15 to be made public.
OAL-BB 50
by Paolo Tumminelli (editor)
Having been closely associated for half a century, Alpina and BMW are almost synonymous. This book is a lighthearted but entirely substantive look at what really puts the “ultimate” into The Ultimate Driving Machine.
Porsche 75th Anniversary: Expect the Unexpected
by Randy B. Leffingwell
The title says it all: Porsche has achieved a significant anniversary. A perfect reason to write a retrospective and conclude it with a little educated future predicting.
Mercedes-Benz C 111: Fackelträger, Traumsportwagen und Rekordjäger
by Kalbhenn, Heidbrink, Hack
Those gullwing doors are about all the C 111 had in common with the famous 300 SL whose impact M-B was so eager to replicate. Only a few were built, mainly serving as test beds, and the successor C112 was scrapped altogether but this is a big and interesting story.
Air & Water: Rare Porsches, 1956–2019
by The Saratoga Auto Museum
The name of the author is the clue that this is a book about the Steven Harris Porsches that the museum featured in two separate exhibits in 2021. Many of his cars really are rare, and while he does drive them they live in different parts of the US and even the world. This book brings some of them together.
The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Book
by René Staud & Jürgen Lewandowski
Examples from all series of SLs, almost 70 years worth, as German photographer René Staud sees them. And he’s seen many, probably 500, and photographing SLs has been one constant in his decades-long career.
