Encyclopedic Excellence

When Karl Ludvigsen‘s first edition of Porsche: Excellence Was Expected was released in 1977, it was hailed as "the definitive authority of Porsche cars." Freshly updated, the new edition is now a three-volume set that completes the story of every Porsche road and racing car through the development of the Carrera GT. A must-have for anyone with a Seinfeldesque level of Porschephilia (see "Exclusive Comedian Road Test!" in this issue). $240.
