カレラ2.7ブック更新（2014年12月）
本の大部分はこの時点で自動車の編集者と同様に編集者によって編集されました、そして、ほとんどのセクションは本当に知識のあるポルシェ愛好家によってより深い技術的レビューを受けました。とはいえ、本ができる限り正確であることを保証するために再調査の詳細を必要とする新しいニュアンスがほぼ毎週発見されるため、最終的なコピーでさえも動くターゲットです。すべての本や記事などと同じように、間違いはありますが、うまくいけば、それらは少なく、はるかに遠くにあるでしょう。
この時点で約300ページがレイアウトされており、結果を確認することは非常にやる気を起こさせます。これは簡単な作業ではありませんでしたが、一度だけ部分的に読むのではなく、人々が一緒に過ごしたい本を作ることが重要だと思います。 10月の終わりに、第1ラウンドのスタジオ撮影が北米で完了し、第2スタジオ撮影は1月の終わりまでに行われる予定です。特に写真が既存の本のレイアウトに統合されたため、これは非常にやりがいのある前進でした。それぞれの新しい写真が本に命を吹き込みます。読者が写真の深さと多様性を私と同じくらい楽しんでくれることを願っています。
この本は約375ページで、高品質の画像、詳細なショット、年代物の写真、1970年代半ばのカレラモデルのあらゆる側面についての重要な調査が満載されています。最も鋭敏なポルシェ愛好家でさえ、次のような他のポルシェの新しいことや所有者を学ぶべきです。 3.0リッター930ターボ、他にはない豊富な情報が含まれていることがわかります。
フィードバック、提案、写真の貢献を提供してくれたすべての貢献者に感謝します。そして何よりも、このプロジェクトに辛抱してくれました。楽しい休日を！

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."
