Bentley Publishers is proud to announce the latest Porsche

heritage book by renowned automotive historian Karl
Ludvigsen.
Within Jerry Seinfelds renowned Porsche collection resides
an unassuming yet extraordinary piece of Porsche history:
Porsche Gmnd coupe 356/2-040. Captured exclusively for this
book in a series of evocative portraits by acclaimed automotive
photographer Michael Furman, 040s unsullied originality
conveys with startling immediacy the combination of artistry,
innovation and determination that went into its improbable
creation. This cornerstone of the Seinfeld collection serves
as the inspiration for PorscheOrigin of the Species, an
in-depth exploration by the eminent automotive historian Karl
Ludvigsen into the specific influences and circumstances that
brought forth the first Porsche-badged sports cars.
How and when did the people of the Porsche firm find
themselves in a sawmill in Gmnd? What was the influence
on the 356 of the cars and engines built by Porsche before and
during the war? How and why was the first 356 shaped as it
was? What was the real relationship between the tube-framed
Type 356 roadster and the first 356/2 coupes? Questions
like these deserve answers because the resulting DNA is so
powerful, so robust, that it still influences the shape and style of
Porsches well into the twenty-first century.
Karl Ludvigsen, author of the award-winning Porsche:
Excellence Was Expected and Ferdinand Porsche Genesis
of Genius, tackles these questions and more in Porsche
Origin of the Species. The saga that emerges encompasses
mechanical revelations, human drama and the turmoil of world
war. PorscheOrigin of the Species will appeal to all car
enthusiasts who are eager to know what events really ignited
the spark from which all other Porsches evolved.
