Updating the Porsche Bible: The new edition of Excellence Was Expected is bigger, better, and more
Karl Ludvigsen is simply in his element when it comes to the history of the Porsche brand. This epic set of tomes is the most complete history of Porsche that has ever been written by anyone, bar none, end of discussion.

Porsche's design studio isn't based in some far-flung metropolitan like New York or Los Angeles or Tokyo. The company got its start in industrial design, after all, so why not keep everything in-house where it can be inspired by the depth of history and motor sport the brand is known for. That's why Porsche has kept its design studio in the quiet …

There is no more appropriate time for our review of Hurley - From the Beginning to publish than the birthday week of the man himself.

Dr. Jim Lowe had better hope that no other Neurosurgeons decide to take up air racing. Barring that, his title as World's Fastest Neurosurgeon is probably pretty safe. Dr. Lowe is also a pretty serious contender for the "most interesting man in the world". In addition to racing, Dr. Lowe is a golfer, competitive surfer, and 30-year veteran of the …

I want to begin by mentioning that I purchased this book over a year ago ahead of the 2016 holiday season, and it just arrived at my doorstep yesterday. Even after all that wait, it must be said that it was well worth it once the book was in my hands. Dwight Knowlton has knocked the ball straight out of the park with his third children's book …

Randy Leffingwell is a writer that I respect greatly. I met him once at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance years ago, and he could not have been a nicer and more encouraging fellow [Randy was actually one of our first interviews years ago]. Randy's primary source material tends to bounce between Mustangs, Corvettes, and Porsches, all of which I …
