An extensively illustrated reference to the iconic sports car for enthusiasts and modelers: "Fascinating and impressively informative." — Midwest Book Review The innovative CarCraft series provides modelmakers and car enthusiasts with a new standard of primarily visual reference of both full-size cars and their scale models. Each book contains detailed technical information imparted through drawings and photos while meticulously researched full-color profiles offer a complete reference for paint schemes and markings. In addition, every volume features summaries of design histories and operational careers, and reviews of available kits. Recognized as one of the most important sports cars in the history of the automobile, Porsche's 911 represents a vital story in the annals of the design and driving of the motor car. This new book delivers an innovative format to the car enthusiast by covering the engineering, design, and modeling of Porsche's 911 series. A true icon, 911 is the designer legend—and a driving tool par excellence: the 911 stemmed from the Porsche 356 yet created a new era and a new international definition of style amid a global motor sport record of success across race and rally events. Experienced automotive writer, industrial designer, and Porsche enthusiast Lance Cole pays tribute to the car in a detailed yet engaging commentary accompanied by new photography, the design story, and full coverage of the modeling options in synthetic materials and die cast metals.
