  The stories behind 100 of the world's most coveted cars

  From the adrenaline-pumping 24 Hours of Le Mans to the legendary Goodwood Festival of Speed, from the famous Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on Lake Como to Monterey Car Week, the collector car events and market have experienced one of the most extraordinary growth trajectories in recent years. As thousands flock to specialist gatherings, mass events, auctions, and concours d'elegances, prices for the rarest automobiles worldwide have reached ever higher revs. So much so that the value of the 100 cars included in this book exceeds the one billion dollar threshold.
  
  For both experienced car collectors and curious beginners, this double volume is the unsurpassed reference work . It brings together 100 of the most exquisite and desirable automobiles of all time and tells the gripping story of how designers and engineers push themselves to ever greater heights, both on and off the racetrack – from the first Indy 500 champ in 1910, Marmon Wasp, to the futuristic Aston Martin Valkyrie of 2020.
  
  In its authority and elegance, this superlative book celebrates nothing less than the best of the best and is miles ahead of any ordinary illustrated book. Each model is generously spread across double pages, with Stunning images from the world's leading automotive photographers, rare archive footage, original factory photos, and famous motorsport posters . Each entry features expertly selected text detailing makes and models—year, engine size, horsepower, top speed, transmission, and all key production data.
  
  As renowned and passionate design authors, Charlotte and Peter Fiell draws on their transatlantic expertise and insider knowledge of car auctions, museums, and collections around the world. Their carefully curated selection spans the entire history of the automobile and offers an overview of the finest models of all time. It includes such rare examples as a 1912 Stutz Bearcat Model A as well as lesser-known veterans such as the incredible 1937 Talbot Lago T150 C SS "Goutte d'Eau" coupé by Figoni et Falaschi.
