This book portrays both Porsche's unique success stories in the motor sports arena and their boldly innovative design and style. About 70 percent of all Porsches ever built are still on the road today, and to this day, all the generations of those striking cars are still eyecatchers in the streets of the world. The small corporation has been defending its pole position with a great sense of quality and passion. They do not build sports cars in order to win races, rather, they participate in races in order to improve their sports cars. Porsche has won the world's toughest race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, more often than any other manufacturer.
Rainer W. Schlegelmilch studied photography in Munich and in 1964 opened a studio for advertising photography. During his studies, visits to car races led him to discover his passion for motor sports and fast cars.
