Porsche 924/944 Book

Porsche built their reputation in the 911, a largely handbuilt, rear-engined model, but in order to survive the economics of the 1970s the company needed a model to reach the larger market. The 924 and the 944 were manufactured at the Audi works and were produced to fill this role.
