50 years of the 911 Carrera RS: to mark this anniversary, automotive journalists Constantin Bergander and Fabian Hoberg, with photographer Peter Besser, shed light on the fascinating history of Porsche's RS models.
Aerodynamics, lightweight construction, power, and balance: the RS models by Porsche have always been the most refined evolution beyond the racetrack. For more than 50 years, the Porsche 911 has borne the RS badge in all generations.
Models with these letters homologate sports cars, excite purists, push amateur drivers to the limit and are incredibly enjoyable. In cooperation with Porsche, the two authors present these special, fascinating and racy models with technical details, many pictures and interesting anecdotes about their development.
On 256 pages, with more than 280 images, the book tells the story of the Porsche 911 from the charismatic "ducktail" to the elaborate drag reduction system, from the slim sheet metal bodies to the carbon doors, from the 2.7-litre carburetor engine to the 4.0-litre high-revving unit.
Thoroughly and meticulously researched, entertainingly narrated and accompanied by references from the RS manufacturers, this extraordinary work describes all RS derivatives of the Porsche 911, from the legendary 911 Carrera RS 2.7 to the current 911 GT3 RS model 992.
In conclusion, Mythos Porsche RS: Entwicklung, Geschichte, Technik is a large-format volume with a richly informative text, with detailed technical data and impressive photographic material, resulting a very special book for a very special piece of Porsche history!
