Sometimes the story gets off on a tangent about things which are hard to understand except perhaps for a diehard Porsche motorsports buff. Still, it's welcome relief from other books which say almost nothing about that beyond the basics of the car's outlined history and some notable races/drivers of the car. Something of a perfect coffee table book which a guest can leaf through for the pictures or sit down to read parts of for a bit more. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Porsche 917:The Winning Formula by Peter Morgan... *by R***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 2, 2014* This is probably the best single book on the 917, perhaps the greatest race car ever. It is out of print, but I decided to take a chance on a used one that still had a dust jacket. It was sold by "technobookshop", and they said it was perfect except for a "small chip on the dust jacket", that had "been repaired". When I got the book I discovered the "small chip" was actually a fairly good sized tear, but it had been repaired with a piece of tape on the back. But in addition to that, there was a large tear and hole in the binding back board and spine behind the tear in the dust cover. Apparently the book was struck with some rather sharp object. I hate to receive goods in a damaged condition, and agonized for a couple of days about returning it. But the interior pages are in perfect shape, and I started looking the book over, and decided to keep it, as the next offer of it in the used category was quite a bit more money. It is an excellent book on this car, and I have all of the best of them, so it's an educated opinion. But I wish people would be a bit more honest when they are selling something through Amazon. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent General & Development History of the 917 *by D***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 31, 2015* Morgan's focus is on the design culture at Porsche and the people behind the cars and this is one of the best and most insightful car books I've read in that regard. He has done his research and seems to know all the personalities. In particular, he provides a very balanced judgement on the differing points of view surrounding several incidents in the 917's history where - let's just say - there have been varying accounts on what happened and who deserves credit. He also provides a good background on Porsche's early sports car racing efforts that led to the 917. My only disappointment is that, though the design and development of the 917 (including the Can Am cars) is described in general terms, there is not a lot of hard technical data. More detailed chassis and engine drawings and details would have taken this excellent general history that final kilometre. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/71378190-porsche-917-the-winning-formula](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/71378190-porsche-917-the-winning-formula) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
