「ライアンスノッドグラス 初期のポルシェターボに関する本 おそらく、私が今まで見た中で最大のシングルモデルブックです。入手して以来、これを我慢できませんでした。それはそれらの車についてのあらゆるマニアックな善に満ちています。それは驚異的です。」
もちろん、0:28:07に マーク・グリーン 車に現れた場合、ロブ・サスはどのような車になるでしょうか、彼のターボへの親和性は明らかでした。サスは、1975年または1976年の初代ターボ、ターボカレラになりたいと答えました。 「ちょっとエッジの効いたものだと思います。それは倦怠期の高さでした。他のすべてが遅くてだらしのないときに本当に尊敬していた車で、約5秒で0から60になる車でした。 。10年前から人々がムスタングIIを製造していた時のマッスルカーと同等のパフォーマンス。私がどんな車にもなりたいと思ったら...私は75-76ターボカレラではありませんが、できればそれは恐ろしくて驚くべきことであり、少し予測不可能だったので、おそらくそれはそうなるだろう。」 」ポルシェは、倦怠感の時代が続いているというメモを決して受け取っていません。」

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.

Turbo 3.0が重要な独立した書籍出版社賞を受賞
We are honored that the Turbo 3.0 book not only won an IPPY Gold medal at the 2019 Independent Book Publisher Awards, but the overall win within one of eight "Outstanding Books of the Year" categories was special, tying for the Best Book Arts Craftsmanship category. This award is extra meaningful as all books published by independent publishers around the world were eligible, not just within the narrow field of automotive books. Tough competition for sure!
The IPPY “rewards those who exhibit the courage, innovation, and creativity to bring about change in the world of publishing,” with the judging criteria “based on quality of content, originality, design, and production with an emphasis on innovation and social relevance.” The eight overall Outstanding Books of the Year categories choose books from "regular entries for being the most heartfelt, unique, outspoken and/or experimental."
Many thanks to all the contributors to the success of the Turbo 3.0 book: art director Richard Baron; cover artist Guy Allen; cutaway illustrator Makoto Ouchi; photographers Claus Bachl, Michael Furman, and Randy Wells; editors Jonathan Stein and Mary Snodgrass; designer of our first book style Christoph Mäder; prepress support from iocolor with Stephanie Lock, John Bailey, and Gary Hawkey; and the printer Artron Art Group.
