Weight 1.6kg by Johnny Tipler
Porsche’s first purpose built race car, the 550, made its debut in 1953 and with success on the Carrera Panamericana the name Carrera soon became synonymous with Porsche’s faster offerings. This comprehensive study of the cars starts in ‘53 and takes us through to 1998 when the last air-cooled 911 derivatives were produced. All models to carry the Carrera designation during this period are featured, including the front engined 924s, and the author takes us through the production histories, specifications, competition activity and even buyer’s guides for specific models.
