Bringing together 50 of the most exquisite, desirable, and adrenaline-charging sports cars of all time, it recounts the enthralling endeavors in automotive design and engineering in pursuit of optimum dynamic performance for both road and track.

Each fabled model is presented with lavish spreads, complete with stunning imagery taken by the world's leading car photographers alongside rare archival gems, from original factory photos to famous motorsports event posters.
