Are we there yet? A question very familiar to parents traveling with children in the car. But it also is a question anxiously being asked by drivers and their passengers during what we keep hearing is this transitional time of personalized, automotive transportation...
365 Sports Cars You Must Drive puts you in the driver's seat of a century's worth of sports car legends (and a few rather less legendary), each presented with a fun and informative profile and fact-and-spec box. It's the ultimate gearhead's bucket list and poses the challenge: How many have you driven? Whoever coined the phrase "getting there is half the fun" must have owned a sports car. And the wag who suggested that "it's the journey not the destination"? Probably driving a Lotus or MG at the time. From towering icons like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, and Corvette to everyman sportsters from Triumph, MG, Sunbeam, and Miata to oddballs like Crosley, Sabra, and DB, sports cars inspire passion and strong opinions as few other vehicles on the road can. In one beautiful book, long-time Road & Truck magazine chief photographer John Lamm, along with other top motoring contributors, gives the reader illustrated profiles of every sports car you've ever dreamed of driving! Now, imagine if you could drive a different sports car—any sports car—every single day for a year. Which would you choose?

Veteráni vás vezmou na projížďku po silnicích historie - do doby zrození, dětských let a růstu dnes tak nepostradatelného stylového a výkonného prostředku, jímž je automobil. První auta byly vlastně jen kočáry poháněné prskajícími spalovacími motory - jediný rozdíl spočíval v tom, že je již netahali koně (ti však byli často stejně zapotřebí, aby dotáhli porouchaný vůz do nejbližší opravny). Karoserie (zpravidla černá), která v té době chránila mechanické části i cestující, nám dnes připomíná spíš krabici na sušenky. Brzy však získala zaoblenější tvar - někdy se jednalo o skutečná umělecká díla. Jakmile tedy začnou krabice na sušenky víc připomínat moderní automobil, počne se projížďka zrychlovat: soustředíme se na ty nejvýznamnější modely z hlediska sociálního, estetického a technologického - zpravidla však z vícera hledisek najednou. Na konci této bohatě dokumentované projížďky nahlédneme i do budoucnosti - ukážeme si, jaké vozy by nám mohly stát před domem v letech, jež teprve přijdou. Kniha Legendární automobily přináší fotografie a popisy vzrušujících vozů, u nichž se snoubí technologie, umění, krása a dobrodružství - od aut snů až po auta skutečná. Je to doslova fotografická projížďka historií těch nejkrásnějších automobilů světa.
Gestalterische Begabung sind beim Entwickeln von Automobilen ebenso erforderlich wie beim Entwerfen von Mode. Ingenieure mögen die technischen Einzelheiten eines Autos festlegen, ohne das passende Design der Karosserie bleibt es eine bloße Maschine. Der Designer jedoch gibt ihm ein Gesicht, eine Seele, macht es zur Verkörperung von Leidenschaften und Träumen, Lebensgefühl und Selbstverständnis. Beginnend mit den französischen Karosseriebauern der 1920er- und 1930er-Jahre werden in diesem Buch die bedeutendsten Autodesignwerkstätten der Welt vorgestellt. Die schönsten und einflussreichsten Modelle werden auf beeindruckenden Farbfotografien präsentiert und detailliert beschrieben – ein prächtiger Bildband zum Schmökern und Staunen, der das Herz eines jeden Autoliebhabers höher schlagen lässt.
