‎50 fabulous years of Porsche RS. All the cars, the history, the people and lots of technical details captured in magnificent stories and photos . Porsche's sporting elite - the 911 R - more performance, less weight. As the first comprehensive homage to the R and RS models, this is a must-have for all Porsche 911 lovers. At auctions they rack up premium prices, but the makers of the 911 R never intended to create objects of speculation for maximum profit. Their main concern was developing vehicles that would appeal to customers because of their uncompromising sportiness. The story begins 50 years ago, when the first Porsche 911 R achieved five new long-distance world records in Monza; and goes on to the latest 911 R - a car that is aware of its history, with racing stripes, houndstooth bucket seats, manual gear change, and a free-revving naturally aspirated engine. In between the first and the latest lie 50 years, numerous models, and a legion of fans. Includes interviews with enthusiasts and racing drivers, and is published to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Porsche 911 R in 2017.‎

‎120 jaar Belgische autosport Volume 3: 1981 - 2015‎

‎, boudewijnstichting, 2016 Gebonden, Hardcover, 320 pagina's veel illustraties ! tekst in Nederlands . ISBN 9789492347077.‎

‎Na vele gouden jaren te hebben gekend, veranderde de Belgische autosport van ritme in de jaren '80. Met de komst van Stoffel Van Doorne lacht de toekomst ons weer toe. Maar de opkomst van dit grote talent, samen met enkele anderen zoals Thierry Neuville, leidt misschien een beetje teveel de aandacht af van de grote rijkdom die onze "nationale" sport sowieso kent. Al meer dan een eeuw speelt de Belgische autosport een vooraanstaande rol op wereldvlak en ook vandaag kent die een nooit gezien succes. Deel 3 van "120 jaar Belgische autosport" verschilt enigszins van deel 1 en 2 van de reeks. De auteur geeft immers niet enkel een overzicht van de belangrijkste wedstrijden uit de periode 1981-2015, maar vertelt in enkele hoofdstukken ook de geschiedenis van de belangrijkste wedstrijden van de Belgische autosport, zoals de Grote Prijs van Belgie, de 1000 kilometer van Spa-Francorchamps of de 24 Uren van Francorchamps. Er zijn ook enkele hoofdstukken gewijd aan de rally's, heuvelklims, rallycross en karting.‎

‎Ce livre est un biopic, le roman vrai d?une marque au-dessus des marques et d?un homme au-dessus des hommes. André Citroën a tout inventé, ou presque, de la publicité : la promotion, le crédit, les RP, l?événement, les caravanes, les raids, sans oublier la première pub automobile, la première pub féminine, la première pub aérienne. Il voulait que les trois premiers mots prononcés par tout enfant soient "papa, maman, auto". Le public changera son slogan en "papa, maman, Citroën". Est-il plus bel hommage à une marque ? Elle fut mon premier budget, autant dire mon premier amour ; elle l?est toujours, soixante ans plus tard. La marque de ma vie, ma marque pour la vie a écrit à sa manière les plus belles pages industrielles et publicitaires du siècle dernier, celles où la France étonna l?Europe et le monde par sa soif de progrès et sa faim de conquête. L?aventure perdure avec cette même passion de l?inventivité et de la créativité qui fait de Citroën la marque automobile préférée des Français. » Jacques Séguéla‎

‎Paris, Flammarion, 2019 softcover, 244 pages - 193 x 248 mm - Couleur - Reliure intégra . ENGLISH . ISBN 9782080204165.‎

‎This book is a biopic, the true novel of a brand above brands and a man above men. André Citroën invented almost everything, advertising: promotion, credit, PR, events, caravans, raids, not to mention the first car ad, the first female ad, the first aerial ad. He wanted the first three words spoken by any child to be "dad, mom, auto". The public will change its slogan to "dad, mom, Citroën". Is there a more beautiful tribute to a brand? It was my first budget, as much to say my first love; it still is, sixty years later. The mark of my life, my mark for life has written in its own way the most beautiful industrial and advertising pages of the last century, those where France amazed Europe and the world with its thirst for progress and its hunger for conquest. The adventure continues with the same passion for inventiveness and creativity that makes Citroën the favorite automobile brand of the French Jacques Séguéla‎

‎, Ludion , 2022 Hardcover, 176 pages, ENG, 310 x 235 mm, NEW, dustjacket, illustrations in colours and b/w. ISBN 9789493039841.‎

‎Artist Jacquie Maria Wessels (1959) studied photography at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and social psychology at the Free University. Her work is related to documentary photography and is usually the result of a long-term study of a specific subject. The work presented in this book arises when Wessels discovers the wonderful universe of traditional garages: she becomes fascinated by the shapes and colors of the mysterious and unknown objects she finds there. Wessels then travels the world to create poetic still lifes in exotic garages with her analog camera. At first glance, the interiors of garages in Cambodia, Cuba, Italy, Morocco, the Netherlands, Poland, Turkey, Russia, South Africa, Japan and Sri Lanka seem to contain the same elements, but small details - only visible to a patient and trained eye - pointing out cultural differences. Wessels then points her camera outwards, towards the immediate vicinity of the old garages. There she is struck by the nature that she finds in the rough, industrial landscapes on the outskirts of the cities. In some cases, rampant nature takes over from industry, overgrowing the garages that try to survive. The photographic result is picturesque images with a surprising color palette. At the same time, they testify to a disappearing, mainly male world that is gradually being supplanted by new, sterile technologies.‎

‎PORSCHE 356 : 75th Anniversary‎

‎, Motorbooks (Quarto), 2023 HB, 256 pages. 310 x 255 mm, ENG edition, dustjacket, *NEW, illustrated in colour, ISBN 9780760377376.‎

‎Porsche 356: 75th Anniversary relates the full story of Porsche's original sports car from the first Gmund coupe to today's beloved collector car. Ferdinand Porsche was a brilliant engineer who, prior to World War II, had been involved in a variety of significant automotive engineering developments including the first hybrid drive vehicles. From the early 1900s, Porsche was developing racing cars including the Mercedes SSK and the mighty Auto Union Grand Prix. During this period, Porsche also developed the groundbreaking Volkswagen, which would prove critical to his postwar, namesake automobile manufacturer. The Typ 356 was developed by Ferdinand's son "Ferry" Porsche and introduced in 1948. Though the rear-engine layout was based on the Volkswagen, most similarities ended there. The 356 had a unique chassis, higher performing engine, and a handsome wind-cheating body. Little known outside Germany initially, by the early 1950s the 356s were lauded for their excellent handling, build quality, and growing volume of competition successes. Porsche's 356 evolved over its 17-year life through four distinct series: pre-A, A, B, and C, with coupes, cabriolets, Speedsters, Hardtops, and Roadsters among the many body variations. Equipped with the "Carrera" 4-cam engine, the 356 was a force in sports car racing. Dedicated competition models were developed beginning in 1953, and the Rennsport Spyders dominated road racing, endurance, and hill climb events for over a decade. The 356 story includes a cast of fascinating characters, from those engineers who designed the cars, to race drivers who built the "giant-killer" mystique, to owners like James Dean and Janis Joplin who fell in love with the little bathtub-shaped sports cars. From titled European gentlemen in the 1950s to movie stars like Paul Newman and Steve McQueen in the 1960s, the first Porsches attracted enthusiasts and racers alike. Today, the car has an even wider following among collectors including Porsche fans like Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno. "356 Fascination" continues with ongoing restoration efforts, vintage racing, and an "Outlaw" movement, all enhanced by large-scale events that celebrate the car's history.‎

‎Jusqu'aux années 1960, la plus grande usine Citroën était située dans le centre de Paris. Avec une grande usine si proche du coeur d?une métropole de plus en plus animée, la direction de Citroën prévoyait des problèmes logistiques. Un site alternatif a alors été trouvé dans les champs de la banlieue parisienne d?Aulnay-sous-Bois, à deux pas du nouvel aéroport Charles de Gaulle. C?est là qu?a été construit un énorme complexe industriel qui, au moment de son inauguration en 1973, était considéré comme le plus moderne du monde. L?assemblage des dernières DS a été réalisée à Aulnay et, bien sûr, l?usine a également été le lieu de naissance de la légendaire Citroën CX. Dans son livre, l?auteur Julius Goldmann décrit l?usine sous toutes ses facettes : sa construction et son inauguration, les secrets de fabrication et tous les modèles produits, les grèves, ses services, jusqu?à la fermeture et la démolition des bâtiments. Des souvenirs et anecdotes d?anciens employés et de nombreuses photos inédites complètent le récit. Un livre fascinant sur un chapitre peu connu de l?histoire de Citroën.‎

‎PORSCHE: A PASSION FOR POWER : Iconic Sports Cars Since 1948‎

‎, TeNeues, 2023 HB, 272 pages, ENG / GER. edition, 340 x 275 mm, NEW, over 200 illustrations in colour / b/w. ISBN 9783961715220.‎

‎Porsche, this car brand stands for power, precision and design. To mark the 75th anniversary of Porsche sports cars, photographer René Staud and Porsche expert Tobias Aichele present the impressive photo book Porsche - A Passion for Power. In vivid images, the two authors illuminate the models of the Stuttgart-based carmaker along the timeline of the company's history. The coffee-table book is structured chronologically, from the first Porsche Type 356 No. 1 to today's top model, the Taycan. The impressive photos were mainly taken in the studio of the famous automobile photographer René Staud. With his sophisticated lighting technique, the Magicflash, he conjures up shots that perfectly vividly depict the design and shape of the vehicles. Hardly anyone knows the Porsche company as well as Tobias Aichele. And so it almost seems like a knighthood that the author of the bestseller Porsche 911 - Forever Young and the multiple award-winning book Mythos Porsche contributed his exciting content to this illustrated book. For die-hard sports car fans, Aichele has compiled a comprehensive model chronology and a lot of information about the company history of the sports car manufacturer.‎
