About This Book

Celebrate six decades of rear-engine excellence with this beautifully illustrated exploration of 60 milestone Porsche 911s. Porsche's 911 is the quintessential sports car—focused, purposeful, race-proven, and exciting. Since its prototype debut in 1963, the 911 has defied expectations while never losing its form or its giant-slaying heart. In Porsche 911 60 Years, best-selling Porsche author Randy Leffingwell delves into the stories of sixty 911s— one from each year from 1964 to 2024. The 911's entire history — engineering, design, development, racing, and culture —is revealed one fantastic car at a time. This unique approach to the 911's legacy includes such icons as:

  • 1964 901 Cabriolet prototype
  • Bruce Jennings 1967 911 S
  • 1971 911 S Safari
  • Louise Piech 1975 930 Turbo
  • Le Mans-winning 1980 935 K3
