Description

Start your engines for a grand tour of the most stylish grand motoring automobiles ever created. Evoking an era when elegance, romance, and outright performance defined the automobile―and the fascinating stories that made them icons of the road. From the shark-inspired Maserati Ghibli to the fiery Lamborghini Miura, from European elegance with American firepower such as the Iso Grifo and Facel Vega to the groundbreaking designs of the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale and Renault Alpine and the advanced technology behind the Jensen FF or Porsche 918 Spyder―these cars are less transportation and more testaments to beauty, freedom, ambition, innovation, and speed. Beautiful Machines was conceived and edited by gestalten. The stories are written by automobile expert Blake Z. Rong with a preface by Classic Driver’s Jan Baedeker and gestalten’s Robert Klanten.

  • Beautiful Machines
Beautiful photography and great text except the introduction and talk of the Green Future and hybrids and electrics and of course why would they include Citroen in the book? nonetheless, It covers some of my favorite Cars, Corvette, Miura, Iso Grifo/IsoRivolta/Bizzarrini,Maserati and it's models and interesting vehicles such as the Facel Vega II and so many other unique cars.

  • Good content choices.
Unlike other books of this type, he picked cars not normally seen. Choices for real car people. However, I have already found inaccuracies, mostly regarding the engines. The BMW 507 has a pushrod motor, not double overhead cams. In another photo he describes a Chevrolet motor as a Ford (Iso).
