For the first time, a book is dedicated to what is probably the most creative body variant of the iconic Porsche 911 sports car. What began as a clever reaction to an increased need for safety in the 1960s quickly became a brand in its own right, the original term for a new type of vehicle.Porsche Targa sheds light on the motivation behind the body concept, reveals the development process, takes through the evolution of seven generations of 911 and shows the transfer of the Targa idea to its brand colleagues 914, Carrera GT and 918 Spyder. We dig deep into the archives, celebrate contemporary colouring, browse through historical photo albums of the Targa Florio endurance race - the inspiration for the name of the sports car once advertised as a “safety cabriolet”.Historical design sketches and photos, highly aesthetic imagery and elaborate productions provide in-depth yet entertaining insights into the impressive history of this special Porsche.Porsche Targa is a sophisticatedly-designed standard work. Colourful and cheerful - like the Targa itself.

"This fun book may not be specifically dedicated to photography, but it’s an unusual and enjoyable read – and, obviously, very cool." — Black And White PhotographyCool. Whether it's a cool guy, cool sunglasses, or a cool film - the attribute 'cool', which until the early '90s was still the definitive identifier of rebellious youth culture speech, is now encountered globally and across all social classes in an almost inflationary manner. The adjective 'cool' is now regarded as a vague paraphrase for something positively casual and is particularly fond of offering itself to us with an aura of self-confident modernity and stylistic confidence. Unfortunately, whoever says 'cool' today often just means a fashion word, representative of who or what is currently hip and what is not. Everything that is somehow hip, trendy or 'in' is called 'cool'. Everything should, and everyone wants, to be cool. On the one hand, 'coolness' is an empty buzzword, on the other hand, it is a self-confident, late-modern individual attitude and behavioural strategy with rebellious roots against a twisted and unjust world.
