A well-designed book showcasing some seriously rare performance cars.
Ultimate Performance Cars is a handsome hardcover volume littered with all-angles views of some of the world's rarest of rare cars. Each two page spread offers a glimpse into the creation of the car, its engine, chassis, and more. Small bits of history are sprinkled in to bring life to the stellar photographs.
The book's design is top notch, with plenty of high resolution photographs at all angles, as well as categories of supercars that readers can browse through based on their own personal interests.
From modern supercars to classic ponycars and the computerized rockets of the 80s, Ultimate Performance Cars is a great addition to any automotive bookshelf, and is a great introduction for those who may not be as well-versed in the history and design of the world's fastest cars.
Highly recommended for motorheads of all kinds.
