Updating the Porsche Bible: The new edition of Excellence Was Expected is bigger, better, and more

6/2/202112:10 estFiled to: Porsche BooksBy: Bradley Brownell

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.

Noted Porsche Author’s ‘Genius’ Recognized and Rewarded

1/14/200912:10 estFiled to: Porsche BooksBy: 993C4S

If you read my earlier review of White Racers from Zuffenhausen, then you know I'm a fan of Karl Ludvigsen's work; especially his Porsche related books and photography.
