Review

[ ] a real treat for the car enthusiast [ ] one for the true Porsche fan! --Velocity (12/01/2015)"

[..] as sweet as a vintage V8, it s a one way ticket to highly-tuned audio heaven. --Stuff Magazine (12/01/2015)"

[ ] a plethora of wonderfully-reproduced photographs, illustrations, and posters. What makes this book unique is the inclusion of a CD that contains the stereophonic reproductions of thirty of Porsche's engines. Porsche Sounds is an audio and visual treat for Porschefiles. --Petrolicious (12/01/2015)"

It is the ultimate book for Porsche lovers, offering not only pictures but the sounds of these great cars too. For the Porsche driver who has everything - here is the perfect book. --dailyrecord.co.uk (11/19/2015)"

Curated by Porsche AG's director of historical archives, Dieter Landenberger, the book features archival photographs of classic Porsche models and is paired with a CD of corresponding engine sounds. --CNN Style (11/25/2015)"

"The title of this book says it all: "Porsche sounds." Going through the history of Porsche, starting with the Porsche 356 Roadster, it follows the several designs and models displaying images and texts with sound recordings which is a real added bonus and certainly enriches your Porsche reading experience. It includes the production models as well as cars like the 959 Paris Dakar and the RS Spyder. And while most Porsche fans will already know the brand history and possibly not learn anything new from this book, the accompanying CD makes it unique. Comparing the different sounds and trying to distinguish the models is just pure fun. A perfect gift for any Porsche fan."

"Porsche Sounds should be part of your collection. If not for the book itself, which is worth the price alone, then for the CD that accompanies the book complete with an audio library featuring the exhaust note of 30 of Porsche's most storied models."--FlatSixes.com
