歴史的なレーサーレビュー-2016年5月
Historic Racerのレビュー "美しいカレラの本":
インターネット、ウィキペディア、ポルシェのオーナーフォーラム、チャットグループが常に存在するこのデジタル時代では、カレラ2.7についての本を購入する意味がほとんどないと考えることは許されます。結局のところ、必要な統計や情報は、しばらくの間Googleの周りでiPadをスワイプすることで見つけることができます。あなたは要点を逃しています。
私はデジタル時代が好きですが、上質な本には、座って開いたときの感覚を生み出すものがあります。初めてハードカバーを持ち上げると、フレッシュなプリントの漂う香りがします。本当によく出来たハード・バックの本は、触覚で楽しむものです。
本に豊富な情報が含まれており、明らかにその作成者による愛の労力である場合、長期にわたる本の棚スペースに値するものになります。カレラ2.7を読む前は、このモデルを常にポルシェ911ストーリーの小さな一面であると考えていました。これは、象徴的な2.7RSとEFI 3.0および3.2リットル車のスタートとの間のギャップを埋めるストップギャップモデルです。
これはモデルを検討する1つの方法かもしれませんが、Ryan Snodgrassの包括的な本は、「ユーロカレラ」2.7モデルがいかに極めて重要であるかを示しています。後続のモデルへの影響と930への影響の両方においてです。
ライアンの本には大量の情報が含まれていますが、多くのテクニカルポルシェの本とは異なり、彼はそれを流し続け、読みやすく、理解しやすくなっています。
機械式燃料噴射がどのように機能するか、915ギアボックスがどのように連動するか、あるいは911モデルの異なるホイールアーチ形状の細部さえ知りたいと思ったことがあるなら、この本はあなたの質問に答えます。
ライアンは、ポルシェアーカイブのウエストの奥深くでかなり長い時間を費やしました。その結果は、おそらく最初のインパクトバンパーポルシェ911で最も完全な本です。
あなたの気分に応じて、この本は便利な参考ツールとして役立つか、単に好きなものを一杯読んで楽しむことができます。高品質の絹のような滑らかな紙のストックに印刷され、頑丈なスリップケースに入れて出荷されます。その構造の高品質の感触は、コンテンツの品質を反映しています。
ダーウィンのポルシェ911の進化における個人的な好みが何であれ、この本をコレクションに追加しないと、あなたは失望します。

Octane Magazine — Turbo 3.0レビュー
Review of the Turbo 3.0 book in Octane magazine's October 2019 issue:
We'll come clean: this book was released last year but our review copy was mislaid during Octane's hastily carried-out office relocation form Bedfordshite to London. It's author, Ryan Snodgrass, very kindly offered to send us another one—and we're so glad he did, because this is a truly exceptional work.
A companion volume to Snodgrass' previous magnum opus, Carrera 2.7, this mammoth 536-page tribute to the Porsche 911 Turbo is printed on creamy archival paper and presented in a stout slipcase. Pay extra for the 300-off Publisher's Edition and you get an even stouter clamshell box that additionally houses convincing reproductions of Porsche ephemera such as press releases and photos, and actual 35mm colour slides, plus a 20-page supplement on how the book was put together.
Is either version worth the money? Emphatically yes, because the level of detail and the production values are stunning. To give just two examples: expert financial book-keepers were hired to check the production data for all 2819 Turbos built; and because no detailed cutaway drawing was ever made of the Turbo, noted cutaway artist Makoto Ouchi was commissioned to draw on. The print specification—which apparently involved '15-micron stochastic hybrid screens' and 'special wide-gamut inks'—will have any bibliophile salivating over their silkscreened linen slipcase.
Every possible aspect of the 1975–77 Turbo is covered in depth: development, build, mechanical, design, one-offs and special editions, racing versions... There's even a spread devoted to specific tyre inflators, jacks and plastic gloves supplied by Porsche for the Turbo's space-save tyre.
As you'll have gathered, we're impressed. It's taken a while for Turbo 3.0 to make it into these pages, but it was well worth the wait.

パノラマ編集長がターボ3.0をベストブックに選出
"Ryan Snodgrass's book on early Porsche Turbos is probably the greatest single model book that I've ever seen in my life. I have not been able to put it down since getting it. It is just full of every bit of geeky goodness about those cars. It is phenomenal."
Of course, when asked at 0:28:07 by Mark Green if manifested into a car, what kind of car would Robb Sass be, his affinity for the Turbo was clear. Sass answered he'd like to be a 1975 or 1976 Turbo Carrera, the first generation Turbo: "I think that they are kind of a little bit edgy. It was the height of the malaise era. A car I really respect as when everything else was slow and crappy, you had this car that would go 0 to 60 in about 5 seconds. Performance on par with a muscle car from ten years before at a time when people were building the Mustang II. If I could aspire to be any car...I'm not a 75-76 Turbo Carrera, but if I could that is probably what it would be as it was so shocking and so surprising and a little bit unpredictable." "Porsche never got the memo that the malaise era was going on."
