In this unique bible of motoring coolness, Top Gear's Matt Master recounts the stories behind history's greatest cars, from pre-war vintage motors to the supercars of the future, pairing stunning Top Gear photography and rarely seen archive photographs with expert commentary. He'll break down the technology behind these incredible machines and place each car in the context of its time, with anecdotes and analysis that explain just what's so cool about each one.
From the quintessential British luxury of the Bentley Brooklands to the Italian sex appeal of the Bizzarini Strada, the old Hollywood glamour of the Chrysler Airflow to the futuristic lines of the Aston Martin Bulldog via Steve McQueen's Ford Mustang and James Dean's doomed Porsche Spyder, this will be social history as much as car worship.
The only book like it on the market, this is the evolution of cool, Top Gear-style; the definitive guide to the undisputed coolest cars on the planet. 作者简介
Matt Master started his career at Auto Express and is now features writer and road tester at Top Gear Magazine.

This book is better than expected and very thorough. I bought it for my 11 year old son and he enjoys it a lot. It is however, written for an adult. The commentary about each car is done in British fashion with words spelled differently than American's would. My son questioned why 'color' was spelled 'colour'. Their written humor is over the top of most kids as well, but very entertaining for car enthusiast adults. I'd definitely recommend for anyone of any age.
I just received this book via Amazon Prime and have fallen in love with it. It's elegant, informative, well organized and classic. It doesn't just focus on super cars; it offers a wonderful variety of vehicles from all walks of life. I highly recommend it!
I bought this as a gift and my fiancé spent hours reading it and telling me about why this car or that one was impressive. Lord knows some of the cars in those pages don't look like much but they represent a turning point in this or that feature. He loves it and it was well worth the price. Its a large book.
My husbands reaction to this gift was awesome! He likes Top Gear but loves cars. This book shows the top 500 cars of all time and a little history with each! It has great pictures and it's Hardcover. How can you go wrong! Great Valentines gift this year!
Good quality book. I enjoyed it a lot and so did the receiver of this gift.
