When Porsche introduced the Porsche 911 – then still known as the 901 – in 1963, no one could have guessed that 62 years later, the 911 would still be among the dream cars of the world. Between then and now lie eight model generations and dozens of model variants – along with thousands of racing victories. Renowned photographer René Staud has been capturing the icon from Zuffenhausen for decades and has photographed virtually all variants of the 911 in his studio: from the precursor Type 695 to the oldest existing 901 prototype with chassis number 6, all the way to the latest 911 Turbo. And for those who love the racetrack: from the mysterious 911 R to the power-packed 935 and the Le Mans-winning 911 GT1, all derivatives that have immortalized the name Porsche in motorsport can be found here. It is the story of a company that depended on the success of the 911 for decades and became a global brand through it. The expert texts were written by renowned Porsche expert Jürgen Lewandowski.
