Customer Reviews

Would make perfect gift for any guy between 13 and 80.

I have collected auto books for years and this one is one of the best. I can't imagine anyone interested in modern auto's would not love to receive this as a gift. This book is huge: 352 oversize, glossy pages. Tons of color photos. Owner story with each car highlighted. One word of caution however: due to the size and weight of this book, I have found (when buying it online) that some sellers cut corners on the "boxing". I ordered a copy and it was sent in a bubble mailer. This book weighs over 6 lbs. When received, all four corners of the covers were bent. Not a big deal for me, but as a gift - not good. The only way this book will arrive in like new condition is if it is shipped in a box with padding.

Simply the Best

I have quite a decent library of supercar books, but this is my golden Book. It's simply the best althought I personaly would like to see in there the specs in metric units and in Km/h. But that no reason for not giving it a Five stras review! Just a reminder dont forget to put a Koenigsegg in the next edition...

A Wonderful Collection

John Lamm's experience and tenure at "Road & Track" magazine puts him in the perfect position to provide the details and history of the exotic supercars which make up the collection of this book. The photographs are superb, and with each car givin its own subchapter, the book is a perfect book to grace anyone's coffeetable. Definitely not a book to live on a shelf.

What a fantastic book!

I got this book as a gift for Christmas. I imediately looked at the beautiful photography for hours, but only recently got around to reading the text. What a great story! The author knows this subject inside and out, and worked with many of the famous designers who created these spectacular cars. The sidebars by Jay Leno were hilarious! I had never been a Leno fan until I read this book and realized he was as smart and knowledgeable as he is funny. I now watch him regularly.
