In a scant six years from 1950 through 1955 Porsche transformed itself from a back-woods builder of Beetle-based specials to a giant-killing racing powerhouse on the world’s great circuits and an esteemed manufacturer of fine sports cars. One man, Rodolfo Mailander, was on the scene with his Leica, capturing for all time the men, machinery and moments of this astonishing ascent to fame and success.
For this sumptuous book Dalton Watson asked Mailander’s life-long friend, Karl Ludvigsen, to choose and comment on the most illustrative and evocative images from the photojournalist’s oeuvre. Prize-winning author Ludvigsen, one of the world’s great Porsche experts, also limns Porsche’s decade-by-decade progress toward eminence. In Simon Loxley’s superb design the images, reproduced in a rich four-colour process, depict Porsche people and products at the circuits of Le Mans, Monte Carlo, Monza, Bern, Reims and the salons of Paris, Geneva, Turin and Frankfurt en route to immortality. Immensely satisfying as a work of art as well as an unique record of the genesis of an iconic marque, this volume will be prized by all admirers of automotive excellence.
