by Karl Ludvigsen. This 496pp volume reveals a dynamic young innovator who helped to chart the course of the automobile through the first decades of the twentieth century.

Once petrol increased dominance as the power-source of choice, Porsche became unyielding in his goal to design the fastest and most robust automobiles in mainland Europe and eventually the world.
