Birth of the Beetle: The Development of the Volkswagen by Porsche Feature

Here is a unique record of the Beetle's early evolution, chronicled by an English school teacher who spent 20 years digging through untapped sources, including archives he discovered at Porsche. Despite the plethora of books on this evergreen car, most of his material has never previously been published. The book - illustrated with over 300 photographs and designs, most of them not seen since origination - covers the period from the Porsche expose of 17 January 1934 until July 1945, with the final lists of experimental and test cars run by Porsche in Gmund, Austria.

Porsche 911 Story: The Entire Development History Feature

Paul Frere, the highly respected author, sadly died in February 2008 aged 91, so another Porsche expert of similar standing is needed to take over his mantle and carry out the next update on the book. Tony Dron is the ideal candidate and, very pleasingly, he regards the job as an honor and is happy to take it on.  Le Mans in 2011 marks the 60th anniversary of Porsche's participation in the Le Mans 24 Hours. This anniversary is an ideal opportunity to provide a detailed study, packed with photos, narrative and data, of Porsche's part in the world's greatest motor race.
