About the Book

In 1974, to rave reviews, Porsche produced the 930/911 Turbo to the public and set off on a new road. At the same time, the governing body of motorsport introduced a new “silhouette” formula to sports car racing. Thus the immortal 934 and 935 were born. This book tells the story of the 911 Turbo and its racing cousins, from the 1974 2.1-litre RSR Turbo Carrera to the tube-framed 750 horsepower final variants of the 935. These are the cars which still bring a gleam of pleasure to any of the drivers lucky enough to have sampled their enormous power and, sometimes, their wayward handling!

About the Author :
John Starkey is a self-confessed racing fanatic, has owned many different sports cars, and has competed in hill-climbs, rallies and vintage sports car races since the 1960s. Originally from Birmingham in the UK, John’s early career included managing the comedian Jasper Carrott and curating the famous Donington racing car collection. He now lives in Florida, where he runs a racing car business, and works as a consultant, researcher and author. He has written a number of motor racing history books published by Veloce.

Review :
Starkey recounts a fascinating story: his descriptive passages are interspersed with interviews of drivers and owners and much of the historical value of this book lies in the recollections of people such as Nick Faure and John Fitzpatrick and Americans Dick Barbour, Alwin Springer or Al Halberts. Porsche 390 to 935 is a compelling read and a fine record of a period in motorsport which makes today's ultra technical and impossibly expensive hybrid racing and formula E look distinctly pallid: the author hopes his work may help to bring more of these simple, but scintillating Porsches into the historical racing scene and no reader of this inspiring work could possibly disagree. - Kieron Fennelly. Through. That'd be Porsche 930 to 935, the turbo Porsches in a word. Not only does it turn back the history books right the way to the first turbochargers (1905 to be precise), the forced induction ships and World War II planes, but it recounts every single outing of every chassis. That includes the numerous privately prepared and developed cars, and doubles the book's length ... This is a detailed document that celebrates a few Porsche icons. - Motor Sport. This book tells the story of the 911 Turbo and its racing cousins, from the 1974 2.1 litre RSR Turbo Carrera to the tube-framed 750hp final variants of the 935. In includes the full development history for each model, details of individual chassis histories, background history of the international racing scene in the 1970s and 1980s, and details on alternative models such as the Baby 935, and the Kremer Brothers' K3. The hardback book is 304 pages and it includes some 252 pictures. - GT Porsche. There are chapters on factory, Kremer and customer cars and their racing. Over 140 pages of appendices detailing each chassis number car and an index. This is a must have for all vintage racers and collectors. - Victory Lane. To compete a tome of this magnitude is a real labour of love, and the author has shown much patience, love and expertise in putting this book together. It shows in its level of attention to detail, and the clarity of the information given that non-technical people will be able to understand the nuances of what made these cars 'special.' In short, a book I can heartily recommend as a source of knowledge form a magical time in sports car development, for purists and casual readers alike. - Chequered Flag Services. No Porsche fanatic should be without it! Speedscene. The crisp and authoritative writing, the helpful images and all of the detail make it essential for any owner or fan of the Turbo Porsche Era. – Sports Car Market.
