Porsche: Excellence Was Expected Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Karl Ludvigsen's "Excellence Was Expected" masterpiece quickly became the defintive test on Porsche when it was released in 1977, and the new 3-volume updated collection reinforces that fact.
There is no other book on Porsche that is as thorough and well written as this work. It is a must own for any Porsche fan and would be the center piece for any automotive book collection. Tough to find, but wonderful to read; it is worth the search to find and acquire this work.

Porsche: Excellence Was Expected Volume 1 Volume 2 Volume 3Porsche: Excellence Was Expected includes augmented and edited versions of the 32 chapters from the 1977 book, as well as an additional 29 chapters that cover Porsche's history through 2002. This three-volume, 1,500-page set contains all the photos and artwork from the original version, enhanced by over 700 new black and white photos and 50 new color drawings of Porsche production and racing cars which were commissioned specifically for this updated edition. Author Ludvigsen has outdone himself in presenting the inner workings, masterpieces and failures of an independent automaker that has exerted a disproportionately powerful influence on the automotive industry. If the first edition of Excellence Was Expected was "the definitive archetypal marque history," (Michael Scarlett, Autocar) this revision and update is much more so. Ludvigsen's readers are sure to agree that the author's masterworklike Porscheis fighting fit for the Twenty-first Century.
