PORSCHE 964 – THE BOOK 1989 - 1994 | EDITION KUSSMAUL K47

Celebrate 35 years of the legendary Porsche 964 Carrera RS with Porsche 964 – The Book – Edition Kussmaul K47, an exclusive collector's edition honouring renowned Porsche racing engineer Roland Kussmaul, the man behind one of Porsche's most iconic Rennsport models.

Published by Berlin Motor Books, this exceptional 448-page hardback explores the fascinating history, engineering and motorsport heritage of the Porsche 964 generation (1989–1994).

At the heart of this special edition is the story of the original Porsche 964 RS development prototype, known as K47. Developed under Roland Kussmaul's direction at Porsche's Weissach racing department, this remarkable vehicle played a crucial role in shaping the 964 Carrera RS. Kussmaul later acquired the prototype in 1993 and has retained ownership ever since.

Featuring an exclusive chapter dedicated to the development of the 964 RS, the book includes a detailed interview with Kussmaul, offering unique insights into the engineering decisions and challenges behind the first modern-era Carrera RS.

The publication provides comprehensive coverage of the Porsche 964 range, including the Carrera 2, Carrera 4, Turbo 3.3, Turbo 3.6 and sought-after Rennsport models such as the RS 3.6, RS America, RS 3.8, 964 Cup, N-GT and RSR 3.8.

Readers will discover fascinating motorsport history, previously unknown prototypes, rare Porsche sales brochures and four detailed buying guides. The book also explores original vehicle pricing from 1989 to 1994 and the development of Porsche 964 market values between 2018 and 2026.

Building upon the acclaimed Luftgekühlt 3 – Porsche 964 publication, this exclusive edition introduces additional material celebrating the 35th anniversary of the Carrera RS. Strictly limited to just 260 individually numbered copies worldwide, reflecting the 260 PS output of the original Porsche 964 RS, each book is personally signed by Roland Kussmaul.

A truly exceptional collector's item, Porsche 964 – Edition Kussmaul K47 is an essential addition to the library of any Porsche enthusiast, 964 owner or admirer of the marque's legendary air-cooled heritage.
