Book Synopsis Porsche 917 X17 by : Jeffrey R. Zwart
Download or read book Porsche 917 X17 written by Jeffrey R. Zwart and published by David Bull Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forty years after its 1969 debut, racing fans still regard the Porsche 917 with awe as one the greatest sports cars ever built. In PORSCHE 917 X 17: THE CARS AND DRIVERS IN STUDIO, renowned automotive photographer and director Jeff Zwart follows up his award-winning book, 'Porsche Rennsport', with exquisitely rendered images of 17 of the most beautiful and historic 917s. Highlights include the first Porsche to win Le Mans overall, the 917K shared by Richard Attwood and Hans Hermann; the Gulf-Wyer 917K shared by Pedro Rodriguez and Jackie Oliver in 1971; and the notorious "Pink Pig" - a 917/20 that was raced just once by Willi Kauhsen in 1971. Using dramatic angles and controlled lighting, Zwart provides a fresh perspective on these iconic cars. He reveals each 917's distinctive characteristics and patina, and shows artful technical details from inside the cockpit, chassis, and engine compartments. These photographs are accompanied by engaging portraits and vivid recollections from 15 Porsche drivers - including Derek Bell, Vic Elford, Brian Redman, and Hurley Haywood - who look back on the anticipation, fear, and excitement they felt driving the 917. With its heavy matte art paper, spot varnish, metallic silver ink, and cloth-covered slipcase, the book's high-quality production is as lavish as Zwart's photography. Of all the recently published 917 books this one stands alone in offering Porschephiles an all-new take on the cars and drivers.

Book excerpt: Hailed by many as the greatest racing car of all time, the 917’s story is packed with superlatives. It began with an incredible display of 25 complete cars to achieve homologation in 1969. The following year, the 917 gave Porsche its first-ever win at Le Mans and repeated the result in 1971. Meanwhile, the factory-backed JW Automotive 917s captured the World Championship of Makes for Porsche in both years. Gordon Wingrove worked for JW Automotive during the 917 years and saw first hand what made these cars so special. In a book that sparkles with personal experience, he combines substantial contributions by the Porsche engineers who created the car with his own incisive understanding, to produce a remarkable technical appraisal. Every aspect of the design and development of the 917 is considered, from its innovation and ruthless pursuit of performance, to the teamwork and inspirational leadership that produced such startling results. Endurance racing was never the same again after the 917 – this book demonstrates why!

Book excerpt: The story of the Porsche’s development of the 917 is a rich account of how a small but dedicated band of engineers undertook to produce a race car that went on to set records that to this day have not been bettered. Designed to win the world-famous Le Mans 24 Hours race, Porsche finally stepped into the big time of international auto racing with its Type 917 in 1969. Its phenomenal air-cooled flat-12 engine powered the 917 to 15 wins in world sports-car championship races from 1969 to 1971 including two wins at Le Mans in 1970 and 71, after which it was outlawed by a rules change. First built in a series of 25 coupes that Volkswagen chief Ferdinand Piech called the biggest risk he’s ever taken in business, the 917 was raced in both short- and long-tailed forms. Today the Porsche 917 is recognized as the car that ended Porsche’s underdog status in international motor sport.

Download or read book Porsche 917 written by Walter Näher and published by Delius Klasing Verlag Gmbh. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a reason why it is known as "racing car of the century": the Porsche 917. From 1969 to 1975 this unique racing car seemed to have a standing order to take first place in the world championships and in Le Mans. Ferdinand Piëch's preface is the prelude to a book that, unlike any other book written about the Porsche 917, is based on factory documents only. As a you engineer, author Walter Näher was involved in the development of the Porsche 917 and serviced it in many races. His expert knowledge of this car enabled him to write the ultimate book about the Porsche 917 - a documentary that gives detailed descriptions of developments and test drives, and comprises the race reports as well. Many previously unpublished photos from the Porsche archive enhance this comprehensive and detailed book which, in the second part, minutely presents the story of each of the 64 Porsches 917 that where built. When in 1973 a Porsche 917 wins the Can-Am series for the second time, the Americans change the regulations - which leads to the disqualification of the Porsche 917 and thus to the end of a one time winning streak. This book is a must-have for Porsche 917 enthusiasts.
