Synopsis

Spanning 130 years of motoring, this visual history traces the car’s evolution from the earliest “horseless carriage” to modern supercars, taking in vehicles from around the world. Alongside striking photography, it presents in-depth profiles of key cars from each era, decade-by-decade coverage, and feature spreads charting the development of renowned marques such as Aston Martin, Porsche and Cadillac.

Virtual photographic tours spotlight iconic machines including the Ferrari F40 and the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, while a dedicated timeline maps milestone advances in manufacturing and technology. The updated content also covers hybrid and electric models and looks ahead to emerging driverless technologies, making it a fitting choice for readers with an interest in cars, motoring and motor racing.
