This trilogy on the Porsche 918 Spyder is like the car itself – passionate, focused, spectacular. The total of three motors in this super sports car – which is still the only production vehicle to have driven the Nürburgring Nordschleife in less than seven minutes – represent a whole new dimension of driving. Similarly, the three corresponding books on this high-tech vehicle deliver a whole new reading experience. There is the “picture book” filled with opulent images from all the development phases of the 918 Spyder; the “story book” that tells the thrilling tale of this car, which marks one of the decisive turning points in Porsche history; and, finally, there is the “fact book” with all the relevant facts and figures on the 918 Spyder.
The unique imagery of the “picture book” comes from Munich photographer and designer Stefan Bogner. Known for his distinctive photography, already published by Delius Klasing Verlag in the book “Escapes” and the magazine series “Curves”, Bogner also finds a drive in the visual anthems of the Porsche 918 Spyder that lends his images an inimitable quality.
The “story book” comes from the keyboard of journalist Jürgen Pander from Hamburg. The narrative takes the reader on a journey behind the otherwise strictly closed doors of the Porsche Development Centre in Weissach and onto an array of race tracks and proving grounds around the world. It includes the words of key figures from Porsche’s sports car development team, such as engineers Gernot Döllner and Frank Steffen Walliser, Head of Design Michael Mauer and, of course, rally legend and Porsche handling expert Walter Röhrl, who was also involved in the development of the 918 Spyder.
In the “fact book”, expert Klaus-Achim Peitzmeier has collated all the relevant facts, figures and graphics associated with this stroke of technical genius called the 918 Spyder – compellingly written, yet compact and concise in its presentation.
