The Porsche 956 001 was the first drivable prototype and thus the starting point for the construction of a total of well over 100 examples of the 956/962 series. The magnificent book “Porsche 956 001 – Creating a Legend” is a lavishly designed English-language monograph on this legendary racing car, which describes the history of the vehicle in detail. From the basic considerations for use in Group C and the creation of the Porsche 956 001, through all the test drives and endurance runs as well as the racing entries, to its use as a test vehicle and the owner history, no significant aspect is left unconsidered.
