Publisher's Synopsis
Here are 111 more gripping Porsche Stories that afficionados of the
Stuttgart brand and sports car enthusiasts should know. Wilfried Müller
tells the stories of very individual characters - no matter if in the
race car cockpit or on the executive floors of the Stuttgart factory,
the New York showroom or the Santa Ana racing headquarters in
California. Meet Mark Donohue, Dan Gurney, Alwin Springer, Max Hoffman,
Jackie Oliver, Brian Redman, Stefan Bellof, Björn Waldegård, Valentin
Schäffer and many more.
Enjoy the anecdotes of race cars dubbed Mickey
Mouse or Kangaroo, Earl Rossi's 917 on the French Autoroute, tales from
10,000 mile rallies, Porsches that handled best when going 1.5 mph, and
Porsches that were never built. Learn about the background to America's
very own version of the legendary 962 racer, the story of the 356C SC
Cabriolet, and the elusive America Roadster. Not to forget the chapter
about magic Porsche words, which tell the stories of Porsche Design,
"RS" or the "Schüttgut", the Porsche family's home base and retreat in
the Austrian mountains.
