BuchTipp – Porsche 911: Die frühen Jahre (1963 – 1989) 

Illustration – Gudy Steinmill-Hommel

Seit 60 Jahren begeistert der Porsche 911 mit seiner stromlinienförmigen Silhouette Autofans rund um die Welt. Höchste Zeit, den frühen Exemplaren des legendären Geburtstagskindes ein Buch zu widmen. 1963 auf der IAA noch als 901 vorgestellt, wurde der schließlich in 911 umbenannte Nachfolger des Typs 356 zum Inbegriff der Marke aus Zuffenhausen. Mit diesem Band setzt Alexander F. Storz der Ikone ein liebevoll bebildertes und sachgerecht kommentiertes Denkmal. Lebendig und kenntnisreich schildert er dem Leser die Evolution des Ausnahmesportwagens bis hin zum »G-Modell«, der am längsten gebauten Elfer-Generation. Das Buch ist im Motorbuch Verlag erschienen – Auch über Amazon zu bestellen.

BuchTipp Audi R8: The Autobiography of R8-405

Illustration Gudy Steinmill-Hommel

The Audi R8 was the first in a line of world-beating sports-prototype cars from the Ingolstadt marque which would dominate Le Mans, and would see Audi remain at the forefront of international sports-car racing for over 15 years.

In the end it would finish second, behind one of its team mates which had a far less-troubled run, but it was not for want of trying by Allan McNish, his co-drivers Stéphane Ortelli and Laurent Aïello and their mechanics.
