To mark the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911, teNeues Verlag is launching this book in March 2013.

The launch of the Porsche 901 at the 1963 IAA marked a milestone in automotive history. The name still had to be changed because Peugeot owned the patent for the 0 in the middle of the type designation, but then there was no stopping the 911 on its way to becoming a sports car icon. The success story extends from the original model to the Carrera RS 2.7, the fastest production car of its time with the characteristic rear spoiler, the so-called "duck tail", to the current 991 generation.

Renowned car photographer René Staud, who has already published The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Book with teNeues, uses his distinctive style to make the most important models from the large 911 family shine brightly on the occasion of the 50th anniversary.

The photos are accompanied by texts by Jürgen Lewandowski, known for his contributions to Powerslide magazine, among others.
