With the 911 Turbo 3.0, Porsche presented the first production sports car in Germany with turbocharger technology in the mid-1970s.
The book starts with a short overview of the history of the turbo used in combustion engines to give an overall view of what a turbo actually is.
After that short introduction, the book continues with the different generations of the Porsche Turbo. From the design and presentation of the 1975 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0 all the way to the 540hp 2016 Porsche 991 Turbo.
For each model, the particularities are clearly described, and no details are forgotten.
Dirk-Michael Conradt’s unique turbo chronicle is much more than a series of dates, facts and technical descriptions until the model year 2016.
It is the story of a legend, narrative, comprehensively documented and recorded in detail with the help of technicians and developers.
What role a bottle of whiskey played in the history of turbo formation and what rally legend and turbo development assistant Walter Röhrl has to say about the individual types, you will only learn in this volume.
The book is illustrated with numerous pictures - many of them never published before - and illustrations to give the text even more explanation.
