"The informative text for each model recounted is somewhat brief
and doesn't get too bogged down in the minutiae, while the cars
themselves are pictured in all their splendor with rarely seen
archival images and contemporary photography by Michael
Furman...[A] worthy purchase for any Porsche enthusiast's
bookshelf." * Porsche Club of America *

"Porsche 70 Years is packed with a mix of gorgeous vintage
photographs, original factory renderings, and spectacular studio

recitation and turn of phrase that doesn't beat you over the head
with elegance." * FlatSixes.com *

prototypes, every significant Porsche ever made gets an analysis in
