Porsche 917 X 17

Focus of the book: I can only say “The 917 by Jeff Zwart”

For those of you remembering my description of the book “Porsche Rennsport” by Jeff Zwart, it should be clear what I meant by the focus above: The most beautiful artistic studio photopraphs in front of black background, thick photo paper and the best [...]

Porsche 917: Archiv 1968 - 1974

Focus of the book: The technical construction of the Porsche 917.

Compared to all other books about the Porsche 917, this one has been written by one of the engineers that designed and constructed the well known racer. As a result the whole book is focusing on the construction of it and provides by far the [...]

Generation Porsche

I would call this a very nice coffee table book about Porsche. Although it spans the whole Porsche era of the last 110 years, it is certainly not complete and those who seek for details in this book are looking at the wrong place by far…
So this is about automobile photography… and I can say [...]

Porsche 917 - The Complete Photographic History

Focus of the book: As the title claims, full photographic coverage of the 917 including predecessor and successor models.

This was the third book I bought about the Porsche 917. One could argue that I should have been satisfied with the book “917 – the Heroes, the Victories, the Myth” already.
On one hand this is certainly [...]

Book: Porsche Rennsport

This is one of my favorite Porsche books:
The dramatic shapes of Porsche’s most successful sports cars are the subjects of this book by renowned photographer and Porsche racer Jeff Zwart.

During a Reunion at Daytona International Speedway Jeff constructed a temporary studio to photograph more than 125 cars. Every sports-car model type from every decade is [...]

Focus of the book: All the races where Porsche was involved in 2007.

This is the first book about the updated LMP2 racer Porsche RS Spyder Evo which again was run by the Penske Racing Team as well as the Dyson Racing team.

Typenkompass Porsche: Rennsportwagen seit 1948

Focus of the book: One or two pages for each model, 135 pages long, a very nice little compendium about Porsche’s race cars from 1948 to 2007 including the Porsche RS Spyder Evo.

It gives very quickly a good overall view on each model and also features really good photos of the cars. And for the [...]
