Some nice pictures there. Thanks for sharing.

Not to be too nitpicky, but slide 8/17 is not a '74...

Randy Leffingwell’s gorgeous new book, Porsche 911: 50 Years...........

Ultimately this is a brainy book for anyone who thinks he knows a thing about the Porsche 911. As the introduction states: “What you read here may contradict what you know about Porsche 911 history. Some of this information was simply not available before now.”

Porsche never throws anything away

I see similarities between the 1957 Albrecht Goertz Typ 695 concept drawing and the new VW XL1 electric/diesel concept:

Slide 9 is the incorrect model as well.
