From the Back Cover
What exactly is a sports car? They are hard to define. Some are dangerously fast, some considerably less so. Some are cheap; others outrageously expensive. Some are breathtakingly beautiful, while some are aesthetically challenged. But all sports cars have one thing in common: They are fun to drive. Sports cars are about much more than just getting from point A to point B; they are about getting there in style and the driving experience.

All the legendary makes are covered, including Aston Martin, BMW, Ferrari, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Lotus, Mazda, Triumph, and many others. So strap yourself in and get moving.
