ISBN: 9781844252046.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you say Porsche, you say 911 - dont you? Yet the 911 itself is not a car, but a designation covering a range of cars back to the 1960s - a range which has evolved, and which its customers refused to let die, despite the engineering drawbacks of its layout.\n\nInevitably, this book is partly devoted to the way in which generations of engineers have worked at overcoming those drawbacks. But it is also about a wealth of other engineering programmes, some of which made it to production and others which, for various intriguing reasons, didnt.\n\nFrom the still-born Volkswagen EA266, through the ill-starred 914 and the front engined 924 and 928, to the modern Cayenne, and much else besides - it is all discussed here.\n\nOver the years, Porsche has developed a reputation for technical innovation and for using cutting-edge technology in its road cars. This book travels chronologically through Porsches technical history with each chapter starting with a crucial point in the companys evolution.\n\nFrom Dr. Porsches preparation of high-powered prototype Beetles for competition purposes, to the technology incorporated in the latest Cayenne and Carrera GT models, as well as the latest 2005-model 911, the reader is taken on a fascinating journey through the Porsche archives, revealing many previously unknown behind-the-scenes details of the companys engineering story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Haynes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945148477493,"sku":"ByrdShop_1844252043","price":317.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781844252046_34fff9e1-49b3-4c59-8648-40402a6c194a.jpg?v=1778919484","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/porsche-the-engineering-story-9781844252046","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
