From its 1965 debut on the European rally scene, the 911 steadily evolved into an increasingly faster weapon that by the mid-1970s had become the ultimate endurance racing machine on the planet. Over the subsequent three decades, the 911 would continue to evolve to adapt in the ever-changing landscape of world motorsport. Yet despite the comings and goings of racing series and categories, one constant throughout was the presence and competitiveness of the venerable 911.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In Evolution of the Porsche 911, noted experts Michael Keyser and Bill Oursler have assembled an evocative coffee table book that takes the reader on a photographic trip through the entire 50-year racing history of the 911. Organized into chapters such as \u201cThe Early Years,\u201d \u201cRS &amp; RSR,\u201d \u201c934\u2013934\/5,\u201d \u201cSand, Snow and Asphalt,\u201d each section opens with a brief historical background on the period, followed by pages of lavish photographs with detailed captions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Immensely enjoyable to leaf through, each section includes photographs from major events like the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Daytona and Sebring, as well as rallies and smaller events from around the world. In addition to being a visual feast, this book also does a very fine job of encapsulating the depth and breadth of the 911\u2019s racing exploits right up through 2010. A must have for any 911 aficionado or anyone interested in the history of sports cars and endurance racing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Available as a limited edition series of 2,000 leather bound, slip-cased editions for US$125 (plus s&amp;h) at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autosportsltd.com\">www.autosportsltd.com<\/a> or by calling (410) 785-2639.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/PR201201-p1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-547664\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/PR201201-p1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/PR201201-p1.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/PR201201-p1-300x278.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/PR201201-p1-1024x950.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/PR201201-p1-100x93.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/PR201201-p1-770x714.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/PR201201-p1-293x272.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evolution of the Porsche 911 In Competition\u20131965\u20132010 By Michael Keyser &amp; Bill Oursler With distinction as the longest-lived sports car design in history, it\u2019s safe to say that the Porsche 911 has a long and distinguished racing history.
