Review: Great book for kids and adults - 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. Review: A True Car Lover's Dream Book - If you are like me and your head turns whenever a cool car passes by you on the street or on the road, or you prefer Formula 1 and Grand Prix racing, then this book is for you. It is an incredibly impressive book. It gives you a thorough and detailed history of the world's greatest supercars - the science, styling, creation, and vision in creating them. It goes to the dawn of the automobile straight to the present day. It is filled with interviews and anecdotes from a lot of the world's most prominent automobile experts. It goes through torque vectoring, gearboxes, aerodynamics, and so many other things, but never once does it seem like a text book. It is all presented in a very easy to follow and interesting way. And the pictures and diagrams throughout the book are fantastic and definitely compliment the book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #163,257 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8 in Vehicle Design & Construction #68 in Automotive History (Books) #125 in Automotive Engineering (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 567 Reviews | ## Images ![The Science of Supercars: The Technology that Powers the Greatest Cars in the World - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WSb4-ppWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book for kids and adults *by E***F on September 30, 2023* I bought this book for a 12 year old who had started playing Gran Turismo and really liked the Lamborghinis.
