Porsche Prototype Era 1964–1973 in Photographs
by Bill Oursler
From 1964–1973, Porsche undertook a furious program of development to take their small displacement sports cars from class winners to overall champions. This quest to become overall winners in events like the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Sebring and the 24 Hours of Daytona, saw Porsche design an entirely new breed of “prototype” sports car.
In Porsche Prototype Era author/photographer Bill Oursler has compiled a historical, photographic tribute to one of Porsche’s most significant racing decades. This large-format book starts with a look at the venerable 904 and how its design and successes opened the door for the following bergspyders and the resultant 906. Each chapter looks at a successive year and model, first with a brief piece of opening narrative and then pages of photographs with in-depth captions.
Produced to the very high reproductive standards that we’ve come to expect from publisher David Bull, this book will be an enjoyable addition to any Porsche enthusiast’s collection.
