Exclusive studio photography: a visual feast for fans that captures the special aura of the world champion cars
A tribute to the perfect symbiosis of driver and car in Formula 1 history
Among the relics of past Formula 1 world championships, the winning cars occupy a very special position. Only when driver and car complement each other perfectly, when they form a kind of symbiosis, does an exceptional performance follow. And even if the driver has long since moved on, years and decades later, the cars remain as a symbol of the victory. The seven cars in which Michael Schumacher won his world championship titles between 1994 and 2004 bear witness to his development from champion to serial winner.
They still document an extraordinary driver whose performance has never been surpassed. In exquisite studio photography, this volume shows the world champion cars, which are still surrounded by a special aura. In this book, Schumacher s manager Sabine Kehm and motoring journalist Elmar Brümmer take a closer look at the phenomenon that is Michael Schumacher the driver, but also the person.
With a foreword by seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton.

A tongue-in-cheek gift book with surprising AI-images of imaginary 'secret' car models for everyone who loves cars and pop culture
Imaginative and stylish, this Wes Anderson-inspired book is a must-have for car enthusiasts (Knightsbridge, Autumn 2024)
What if the world s leading car manufacturers had secretly started building totally surprising models? With the help of artificial intelligence, Mr. François (François Mercier) set out on a fun and creative journey to find answers to this question. The Brussels-based film director and photographer trained himself to become a promptographer : someone who creates images with the help of artificial intelligence, starting from a prompt, which is a number of words describing the image. So the images of cars in this book aren t photographs in the true sense, because they don t show reality. They do, however, look very realistic, showing cars that don t exist but could perfectly have existed. Or maybe even should have. What if, for example, Ferrari had made a camper van? Or what if Lamborghini had built a school bus? Or what if you could drive a luxurious six-seater limousine that s a Mini? This book shows us what these outside-the-box car creations would look like in astonishing realistic-looking and aesthetic photos. Funny, imaginative, and goodlooking: this little book is the perfect gift for car enthusiasts or anyone who s intrigued by AI-creations.
François Mercier is a Belgian commercial film director and photographer.

On over 400 pages, editor Michael Köckritz, author Jürgen Lewandowski and photographer Michel Zumbrunn get up close and personal with the Ferrari phenomenon: its beauty and sex appeal, its class and power
Readers will learn about not only the most popular models, but also the most important designers who have shaped Ferrari
Includes many exciting stories and anecdotes surrounding the legendary brand and its automotive icons
The attractive design by Charles Blunier & Co. and a clean, uncluttered layout ensure the proper presentation worthy of the vehicles from Maranello
Success is not founded on miracles, but is almost always the product of a clear concept the pinnacle of an ambitious, even stridently innovative idea. However, the aura of Ferrari does indeed approach the miraculous. What lies behind this phenomenon? What is the source of fascination for a brand whose creative designs are internationally recognised and enthusiastically received?
First, even today 70 years after the company was founded the miracle of Ferrari is still due in large part to the personality of Il Commendatore, Enzo Ferrari. Patience, passion, and being hard on himself and those around him gave the brand, under the emblem of the Cavallino Rampante, the power to become what it is today: sheer fascination on four wheels. Second, the long list of international racing victories is equally important. There is no class, no competition, that Ferrari did not set its sights on and win more or less immediately during the company s last 70 years. Finally, Ferrari is synonymous with aesthetics, elegance, and trend-setting design. The true value of a brand and its products is measured in the currency of impassioned devotion. This is the third and perhaps most vital element confirming the Ferrari miracle: The Ferrari Book Passion for Design traces the evolution of the miracle and lets us experience passion given automotive form in a large and engrossing format. Text in English, German, French and Italian.
Based on expertise and the single-minded pursuit of a theme over several decades, and with the resources of cars and culture magazine, ramp, a team of authors working with editor-in-chief Michael Köckritz developed a novel idea for a series: In The Ultimate Ferrari Book, Ferrari enthusiasts will find 40 spectacular icons, all of them selected for their design. Describing the core elements of the contemporary craze for Ferrari and automobiles, in general, this book is a new and different treat for all ultimate fans.

Comprehensive 352-page history with beautiful colour photography and detailed illustrations Includes thorough specification information for each model
The year 2013 marked a significant milestone for Aston Martin - it celebrated their 100th Anniversary and the start of their second century in automotive design
For a century now the Aston Martin name has been synonymous with performance, style and sophistication. Perhaps more than any other luxury car it possesses a mystique and charisma that have established it as a cultural icon and the pinnacle of automotive ingenuity. Yet the brand s survival has not always been assured. That Aston Martins are still being produced today is testament to the power of the name and what it represents to car lovers worldwide. In Aston Martin: Power, Beauty and Soul, author David Dowsey explores the colourful history of Aston Martin, from its humble beginnings in a London garage in 1913, to its takeover by the Ford Motor Company in 1987 and sale in 2007. Many of those intimately involved at the various stages of the car s history offer fascinating insights into the development of the Aston Martin and amusing behind-the-scenes anecdotes. Mike Harbar s delightful renderings add a charming bespoke dimension to the book. With lush full-colour photography, comprehensive specifications of every model from the early DB right up to the V8 Vantage Roadster, and production statistics and racing results Aston Martin: Power, Beauty and Soul is an indispensable reference for motor enthusiasts and a book that truly does justice to the Aston Martin name.
A graduate of Melbourne University, motoring journalist David Dowsey initially came from a musical background. He has had a genuine and passionate interest in Aston Martins for many years after first coming into contact with the marque through the famous Corgi toys. His profession allows him to sample the latest and greatest motoring products, and as a long-time owner of an Aston Martin he is well-placed to present this comprehensive study of a vital period in the brand's history. A member of the Guild of Motoring Artists and Australian Automotive Artists, English-born Mike Harbar is passionate about cars and drawing them. He has drawn the lot, from AMR-1 to Zagato. Since moving to Australia in 2000 Mike has continued his work as a freelance car artist with thousands of customers worldwide, producing artwork for magazines, car specialists, club events, race teams, corporations and private enthusiasts.

A visual history of the world's most legendary motor cars, from popular classics, to priceless one-offs, and some serious boytoys
New additions to the automotive market are judged primarily by efficiency or fuel consumption. Things are quite different for historical cars. Major car shows, from Pebble Beach to Villa d Este, feature classic cars, which, although they may not achieve top marks in the wind tunnel, have a timeless elegance that makes the hearts of all aficionados skip a beat. The photographer Ansel Adams, who was an honorary judge at Pebble Beach, once defined them as follows: The type of vehicle I would like to be buried in. From the Maserati Ghibli to the Ford Thunderbird, René Staud has shot automotive classics in settings ranging from the subtle to the spectacular. As coorganizer and head of the Car Selection Committee for Schloss Bensberg Classics, Jürgen Lewandowski provides authoritative texts. The Classic Cars Book conveys a real passion for these spectacular vehicles, appealing to existing fans and those yet to fall under their spell.

Official and authorised by Piaggio, this book celebrates the legendary Vespa scooter, from its origins in 1946, to the present day
The new official book approved by Piaggio about the legend of the Vespa. When the Vespa debuted in 1946, it was received with an air of scepticism. It soon became a success. It was the first two-wheeled version of the compact and responded perfectly to the post-war need for mobility. It has also become famous for its unique design that many have tried to imitate; it truly is an icon. The Vespa is not just any scooter, it is the scooter, known and loved all over the world.
Stefano Cordara was born in Milan in 1967. He earned his degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Milan. In 1992 he began his career as a journalist, working as a specialised tester in the world of motorcycles, thereby transforming his unbridled passion for motorcycles into a job. His sensitivity as a test driver led him to be personally involved.
