Description

With incredible one-off models and limited editions, this visually breathtaking collection of rare cars will excite auto enthusiasts and collectors.

From the Phantom Corsair to the Jaguar C-X75, these cars are among the rarest--and most special--in the world They include examples from the golden age of design, like the Bugatti Type 41; streamlined models such as the Tucker Torpedo; advanced "supercars," including the Ferrari 288 GTO and Aston Martin One-77; and many others. Shown in stunning illustrations, each one stands out for its manufacturer, technical supremacy, aesthetic qualities, and astronomical price--as well as the stories associated with it and, in some cases, even its failure.
