For the seasoned car collector or the awestruck newcomer, this volume is the consummate sports car anthology. Bringing together 50 of the
most exquisite, desirable, and adrenaline-charging sports cars of all time
, it recounts the
enthralling endeavors in automotive design and engineering in pursuit of optimum dynamic performance
for both road and track. This expertly curated roundup of glorious, high-speed two-seaters includes both all-out sports racers as well as their street-legal homologated brethren. Indeed, some of the
most desirable cars
across all auto-collecting genres are from the glorious golden era of sports car racing, which existed up until the late 1960s. In that time, gentleman privateers would drive their cars to a competition event, such as the famous
24 Hours of Le Mans
, race them hard—perhaps winning their class or even the race—before coolly driving them home again.
Showcasing 50 of the most sought-after sports cars ever created, from the 1912 Stutz Model A Bear Cat and the 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B MM Spider to the 1955
Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR “Uhlenhaut Coupé”
—the world’s most expensive car—and the 1962/64 Ferrari 250 GTO Series II, this volume is an
automobilia treasure trove
. Each fabled model is presented with
lavish spreads
, complete with
imagery taken by the world’s leading car photographers
alongside rare archival gems, from original factory photos to famous motorsports event posters. Each entry is also accompanied by expert descriptive texts and specs, tapping into the authors’ transatlantic expertise and insider knowledge.
