Discover the engineering revolution that has helped shape the last century, from the first Panhard and Benz production cars to the latest 200-mph sports machines; from the basic Willys Jeep to the Porsche Cayenne sports off-roader; and from the original "people's car" - the VW Beetle - to the cars that look to the future, such as the hybrid Toyota Prius, the Indian electric REVA, and the Brazilian biofuel cars. Learn about the unsung heroes, including cars that have helped win wars and those designed to minimize pollution, and enjoy the famous cars too, such as James Bond's Aston Martin, James Dean's Porsche, and Al Capone's Cadillac V16. 1001 Cars to Dream of Driving Before You Die reveals the stories behind the cars, the geniuses who designed them, the companies and factories who built them, and the people who drove them. It's a mine of fascinating motoring trivia and information that car fanatics won't be able to put down.
