There is scarcely another everyday item which has been designed in a more sophisticated and inventive manner and which offers a larger projection area. This can be seen with particular clarity in the sports car.

Essays, selected texts and biographies shed light on the multi – layered development of automobile design and introduce the vehicles and their designers .
