Description
Fromthe first 356 through the sophisticated 959 and its derivative Carrera 4 and 911 Turbo S models, each successive Porsche has advanced the benchmarks of sports car technical accomplishment and driving enjoyment. Engineering innovation and racing dominance that began with America Roadsters and 550 Spyders carries on as the company enters its next decade.
Although Porsche offered only a few models in its first half century, most of these have remained in production for many years. undergoing steady improvement and upgrading over their lives. Just because later production versions resemble earlier cars in their series does not mean that all Porsches are created equal. Differences are often subtle, and uninformed buyers can make innocent but potentially costly mistakes.

This new edition of Dean Batchelor's long-running Buyer's Guide has, again, been revised and updated by Porsche specialist Randy Leffingwell to include all Porsche models from 1948 through the new 2010 Panamera.
