Sinossi
Auto Legends: Classics of Style and Design is a collection of over sixty of the most important - and beautiful - cars ever made. From the 'horseless carriages' of the early twentieth century, such as the 1908 Ford Model T, and the sleek lines of the BMW 328 and Jaguar E-Type, to the thoroughbred Ferrari Enzo Ferrari of 2002, this selection provides a unique overview of the key moments of car design.
The cars are presented chronologically in a succession of photographs by Michel Zumbrunn, widely recognized as one of the best car photographers working today. The combination of general views, taken from a variety of angles, and numerous close-ups of exquisite detailing allows the reader to appreciate fully these masterpieces of the car designer's art. Each entry is accompanied by a commentary by Robert Cumberford, a car designer and renowned motoring journalist, who shares his knowledge with the reader in order to highlight the history and essential design features of each vehicle.

Auto Legends - Classics of Style and Design
Da: Crappy Old Books, Barry, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Some cars are built to transport people from A to B. Others become rolling works of art, objects of desire, engineering icons and the sort of machines that cause otherwise sensible adults to stop mid-sentence, stare wistfully into the distance and murmur, "They simply don?t make them like that anymore." Auto Legends is dedicated to that latter, gloriously irrational category. In this beautifully produced volume, Michel Zumbrunn celebrates many of the greatest automobiles ever created, bringing together an extraordinary gallery of classics whose influence extends far beyond the road. Here are cars that changed the course of automotive history not merely through performance or innovation, but through elegance, proportion and sheer visual charisma. Some were technological revolutions, others were impossibly luxurious, and a few seem to have been designed with no greater purpose than making every other car parked nearby feel quietly inadequate. The book explores a dazzling array of legendary marques, from Aston Martin and Bentley to Ferrari, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Bugatti, Alfa Romeo, Porsche and many more. Each vehicle is presented with a blend of historical background, technical insight and sumptuous photography that captures the artistry of the designers as much as the brilliance of the engineers. These are not simply machines assembled from metal and rubber; they are cultural landmarks, each reflecting the ambitions, fashions and technological aspirations of its era. Naturally, motoring history has never been entirely sensible. Some of these magnificent creations consumed fuel with the enthusiasm of a small power station. Others demanded maintenance schedules that resembled military campaigns and spare parts budgets capable of funding a respectable family holiday. Yet none of that seems to diminish their appeal. If anything, the flaws become part of the mythology. After all, perfection is admirable, but imperfection with impeccable styling has always sold rather better. One of the delights of Auto Legends is that it encourages readers to slow down and appreciate the details that are so often overlooked: the graceful sweep of a wing, the elegance of a dashboard, the satisfying simplicity of a steering wheel before buttons began reproducing like rabbits, and interiors crafted from wood, leather and polished metal rather than an enthusiastic assortment of textured plastics. It reminds us that the greatest cars are remembered not simply because they were fast, but because they possessed character in abundance. Condition: Very Good. A handsome, well-preserved copy that has clearly led a more pampered existence than many of the automotive masterpieces within its pages. Clean, smart and thoroughly presentable, it is ready to grace the coffee table, bookshelf or garage workshop of its next owner. Unlike several of the classics it celebrates, this one won?t require specialist servicing, a sympathetic mechanic or a second mortgage before it can be properly appreciated. Codice articolo 6762
