When Ferdinand Porsche and his son created a car company in the 1940s, they set out to create a new kind of race car. This automobile and the high-performance vehicles that followed took the Porsche name. While these cool cars conquered the racing scene, they were also produced for everyday driving. Porsche is still manufacturing cars that elicit "oohs" and "ahhs," whether rounding a turn on a tight track or driving down a country road. Readers and race fans will find all the information they crave while they enjoy plenty of striking photographs of Porsches in action.
