Motorbooks Porsche 911 60 Years Hardcover – Import, 25 April 2024

I ordered this book as a birthday gift for my son. It arrived on time, and he surprised me by how pleased he was. Wonderful gift for any Porsche lover !

Well written and informative. Makes a great coffee table book for any car enthusiast. The Porsche 911 is an iconic sports car with an interesting history and evolution that is well documented in this book.

If you love the 911, you should get it. Goes back to the very beginning. There's nothing here that you can't find elsewhere, but it is beautifully put together.

Great pictures and nice coverage of pretty much every model and generation and sub-generation of 911. However, there’s one big miss that I don’t quite understand. The 991.2 sub-gen, which was the model that introduced controversial turbo-charging across the entire Carrera model lineup, is almost completely skipped over. You would think such a big drivetrain change would merit its own section entirely, but the 991.2 gets literally a two-paragraph mention in the 2018 Turbo Exclusive section.It feels like after the 991.1 section the author is in a bit of a hurry to get the book wrapped up by quickly covering some special edition models, ending with a brief on the 992 generation. Aside from this I think the book is well done, especially for the asking price. But the lack of detail on the 991.2 means I can’t give it five stars.

I’ve absolutely loved the Porsche 911 since as long as I can remember. I still get excited when I see one on the road no matter the vintage or the model. This book lays out the history and accompanies it with gorgeous pictures and artwork. A perfect gift for any car enthusiast… especially a Porsche or 911 enthusiast.
