The sports cars of the 1950s to the 1970s are fast, beautiful,
eccentric and innovative. In recent decades these automobiles not
only became coveted collector's items; they also enjoy cult statu
s. In an exciting journey through time the volume presents 25
outstanding sports cars as design icons and illuminates their
presentation in film and photography. As a design object beyond its
practical purpose, the automobile has left an indelible mark on the
world we live in. 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. The volume pays homag e to a
selection of exclusive sports cars by legendary manufacturers, from
Porsche to Ferrari to Jaguar, as artworks in their own right and as
a unity of form, technology, design and emotions. Essays, selected
texts and biographies shed light on the multi - layered development
of automobile design and introduce the vehicles and their designers
