When the Porsche 918 Spyder was presented for the first time as a study in Geneva in 2010, it was not at all certain whether this car would ever really come into existence. The decision to make this super sports car was the start of a great adventure for the company and the engineers. This book provides the first look behind the scenes at the production and planning, and the challenge of bringing together serial production processes and manufacturing within an automobile group. The focus is especially on the people who made this car. Porsche is the largest and most traditional sports car manufacturer and the most profitable automobile company in the world. The origins of the company go back to a construction office founded in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche in Stuttgart, which evolved into an automobile factory after 1945 that specialised in particular in the production of sports cars.
