[Vinay Mistry · Rating 4 out of 5]

I got this book as a birthday present many many years ago. Suddenly I had an urge to find it and read it again and it sure does hold up. There are big pictures of each car, statistics and a write up on why each and every one of them was special. It successfully makes you understand the legendary cars by this manufacture, the legends and the hardship that bought the company to the edge in a never ending pursuit of perfection on the road and on the track at the edge of technology. I read this book as a child and as an adult, Porsche became a dream of mine at that young age and when I look back 15 years later I can see why.

Its only 80 pages so it is a quick read but its fun for fans of the manufacture, for the kids that just want to see pictures of cool cars and maybe develop a fondness for the most successful brand in racing history and with the best selling sports car, super car, most wins at le mans.

The book goes from the start of Porsche with the 356 to the Boxster. Its cheap to buy everywhere so take the plunge and check out some fantastic cars most of which were the best of their time.
