Text in English and German., Carrera ... ... this term is as much part of the Porsche vocabulary as is "Turbo" or "911". lt established itself in a race win of a Porsche 550 Spyder at the legendary Carrera Panamericana in Mexico in 1954. The racing engine they used was unique: termed "Carrera motor", it became part of automobile history. The remarkably powerful engine with four camshafts, constructed by Dr. Ernst Fuhrmann, was used successfully in a row of famous Porsche racing cars, from the 356 Carrera to the 550 and 718 Spyder to the 904 Carrera GTS. In this book, the Porsche archive and two exceptional authors work together to present the history of this racing engine and its cars. Rolf Sprenger, an employee of Porsche for 40 years, explains the technological development of the "Fuhrmann engine" so that laymen and experts alike comprehend its impressive technological refinement. Alongside this, lots of previously unpublished documents and photos from the factory's archive are presented, unveiling exceptional backstage views of the then young Porsche brand, plus interviews with those directly involved in the early days of the legendary Porsche Carrera. Undoubtedly, this bilingual reference book will cause a great sensation in the Porsche community worldwide.
