Dalla quarta di copertina

Whoever coined the phrase “Getting there is half the fun,” must have owned a sports car or three. The dude who said, “It’s the journey, not the destination,” was probably driving a Porsche or a Ferrari at the time. Sports cars are about pure driving pleasure, and 365 Sports Cars You Must Drive is a celebration of that pleasure. From hyper-performance German supercars to classic British roadsters, from famed marques such as Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, and Chevrolet to all-but-forgotten models like the Cheetah, Bricklin SV-1, and the Crosley Hotshot, authors John Lamm, Larry Edsall, and Steve Sutcliffe put you in the driver’s seat of 365 unique sports cars, each with a road to travel, each with a story to tell. How many have you driven?
