THE SCIENCE OF SUPERCARS

The media could not be loaded.  A perfect book for car enthusiasts. The information represented is very technical, there's so much to read and learn about, there are high quality images as well but it's the information that does for me. This book explains well about the working of the ICE engines (ofcourse), turbochargers, brakes, tyres, DCT, direct fuel injection systems, computational fluid dynamics, aerodynamic science, hybrids, carbon fibre, mid-engine layout and whatnot...This book well showcases how the designs and technology has improved since the early 1900s and what the future holds for the ever flourishing automobile industry.There's so much to read and learn about. It might bore some readers due to being too technical and having long & long paras of information but if you're totally into cars, this book truly deserves to be in your collection.

I bought this book for a 12 year old who had started playing Gran Turismo and really liked the Lamborghinis. But then I sat down and read it myself and was really impressed. It is wonderful history and excellent explanation of car innovations. I like reading car reviews, but on a lot of the jargon I don’t really know what they are talking about. Most of those innovations came from supercars, and this book gives that history with little asides about how blowers, turbos, AWD, dual clutches, and other things work. I thought it was outstanding. Well written, great photos, great diagrams, and a highly readable history on the subject.

for boys (and girls) who love cars

Bon livre mais à mon goût manque de détails techniques, j'aurais aimé avoir plus d'images des détails technologiques peut être carrément des extraits des plans constructeurs. Il aurait été mieux de parler de moins de voitures mais plus nous montrer la technologie de chacune et les solutions employées.

Todo OK

Libro genial. Rigor y senzillez. Tamaño manejable y impecable acabado.
