Critics Review

“The informative text for each model recounted is somewhat brief and doesn’t get too bogged down in the minutiae, while the cars themselves are pictured in all their splendor with rarely seen archival images and contemporary photography by Michael Furman…[A] worthy purchase for any Porsche enthusiast’s bookshelf.” * Porsche Club of America *“I can conclusively say that if you want a condensed history lesson on Porsche’s last 70 years that focuses on its most legendary cars, you won’t do much better than getting your hands on this book. There is, dare I say it, no substitute.” * TheNewswheel.com *“Porsche 70 Years is packed with a mix of gorgeous vintage photographs, original factory renderings, and spectacular studio photography from Michael Furman. As for Leffingwell’s part, he again knocks it out of the park with a mixture of eloquent fact recitation and turn of phrase that doesn’t beat you over the head with elegance.” * FlatSixes.com *“It’s all here: race cars, production cars, concepts and prototypes, every significant Porsche ever made gets an analysis in Randy Leffingwell’s book Even the 914! Whichever Porsche is your favorite gets a thorough look here.” * AutoWeek *
