From the Back Cover

Say the word "Porsche," and the first idea that springs to mind is engineering excellence. Throughout its storied history, Porsche has produced some of the world's most finely engineered automobiles. While some companies pursue form over function, Porsche has taken the opposite approach, making no compromises in its pursuit of function. But in the case of Porsche automobiles, the function is so stunning that the form that follows cannot help but be exquisitely beautiful. In "Porsche: A History of Excellence," author and photographer Randy Leffingwell celebrates the rich history of this fabled marque.
