The Porsche 911 Book:
50th Anniversary Edition
Photographs by René Staud
Text by Jürgen Lewandowski
The introduction of the Porsche 901 in 1963 marked a milestone in automotive history. Although the name later had to be changed because Peugeot had patented having a zero in the middle of car model numbers, the 911 didn’t let anything stand in the way of its becoming an iconic sports car. This success story spans all the way from the 901 and the Carrera RS 2.7 (which, with its characteristic rear spoiler—the so-called “ducktail”— was the fastest production car of its time) right up to the current generation of the 991. For the 50th birthday of the iconic 911 family, the well-known automotive photographer René Staud, whose The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Book has also been published by teNeues, showcases the most important models—all in his typically distinctive style. 320 pages, hardcover, 225 color photographs. Text in English, German, French, Russian, and Chinese,
