Adrian Streather is a well-established Porsche author, having started writing on the subject in the 20th century. This Porsche 997 book is his fifth Porsche Companion and his sixteenth title with Veloce Publishing Ltd. Adrian's passion and enthusiasm for all things Porsche 911 knows no bounds. He's well aware of the technical advances achieved by Porsche with the 997 series over previous models, especially the 996, the first and somewhat problematic series of water-cooled engine 911s. The Porsche 997 (Porsche Excellence) replaces the 996 (Emperor of Porsche) series with dignity, style, round headlights and sexy curves.
