Abstract :

The ultimate book about the Porsche 917; documents detailed descriptions of developments and test drives and includes race reports.

This book is a must-have for Porsche 917 enthusiasts

Ferdinand Piëch's preface is the prelude to a book that, unlike any other book written about the Porsche 917, is based on factory documents only. Many previously unpublished photos from the Porsche archive enhance this comprehensive and detailed book which, in the second part, minutely presents the story of each of the 64 Porsche 917s that were built.

For the first time ever, this book describes the development and refinement of the legendary Porsche 917 race car in painstaking technical detail, backed by original company documentation. The resulting Works Catalogue lists each of the 65 chassis and their individual fates.

The immense effort Porsche went to between 1968 and 1975 in the never-ending contest with Ferrari, Ford and McLaren comes to life through detailed practice records and technical race analyses, interspersed with the original remarks of the drivers involved. The reader feels as if he had actually been on the race team. Working entirely from documentation from the historical archives of Porsche AG, much of it never before published, in years of meticulous research Walter Naher has produced an authentic standard work that no Porsche enthusiast will want to be without.
