Porsche has a true sporting pedigree. The 924 was the first of a new generation of front-engined models that would unleash the V8-engined 928, see the 924 evolve into the 944, and eventually deliver the 968. They spurned the rear-engined layout of the 911, but each model has proved worthy of the Porsche name, with the familiar combination of exquisite looks, advanced engineering, peerless build quality and towering performance. Here, David Vivian describes the front-engined models, including their background and development, driving impressions, technical details and competition history. Complemented by photographs of each model, this book should be of interest to devotees of the sporting masterpieces from Zuffenhausen. David Vivian is familiar with all of today's sporting supercars, having been road test editor of Autocar & Motor for many years. A full time writer, he contributes regularly to the motoring press, and his books include Porsche 911 - The Complete Story in the Crowood AutoClassics series.
