Customer Reviews
Complete description of the evolution of the Porsche 911
The 'Porsche 911 Story' is one of the "Bibles" of the Porsche 911. It offers a complete picture of the evolution of the 911, from its roots in the 356 through to the last of the "true", air-cooled Porsches.
It falls between a mechanic's manual and a photo-filled story of the great car. It finds the middle ground perfectly and is an essential part of any 911 enthusiast's library.
The ultimate bible for 911 enthusiasts
Although deeply technical in places, this is an excellent piece of work. The attention to detail is superb and Paul Frere really shows a passion for the porsche marque as well the 911 itself. My only criticisms would be the order the book is written and the poor sequencing of illustrations.
Very Enjoyable and Instructive
Clearly written by someone who really knows his stuff. A really good history of 911 development from the 60s to the modern day and includes lots of fascinating technical detail. There's also a complete section on the car's racing pedigree. Paul Frere explains why Porsche had to abandon the enthusiasts much loved air-cooled engines and embrace water cooling after the last-of-line 993 series. I bought the book as I was looking to buy a 993 or 996 series car and it helped me decide to buy the 996 C4S.
