The Cars You Dreamed About
Cars of the Super Rich (subtitled The Opulent, the Original and the Outrageous) is not just another book with the latest expensive exotic cars for those of us who haven't outgrown our adolescent fantasy cars.

Poor pictures, limited information, poorly organized
This book is not very great at all. It only shows 1 small picture of each car from one angle (so you're always missing some part of the car like the front or back). Then it really doesn't have that much information on each car, just maybe 1/3 of a page, and finially the selection and organization is not very good either.

This review is from: Cars of the Super Rich (Paperback)
This book is not very great at all. It only shows 1 small picture of each car from one angle (so you're always missing some part of the car like the front or back). Then it really doesn't have that much information on each car, just maybe 1/3 of a page, and finially the selection and organization is not very good either. I would really recommend looking elsewhere for a good book on exotic cars and supercars or anything else. What I would really recommend though now that we're on the subject is buying an exotic car. I think I would most recommend a Ferrari F430, and then maybe a Porsche Turbo or Lamborghini Gallardo... I would love some comments left on what supercar you would like most to have...of ANY car, if I had the money...probably a McClaren F1 or maybe a Koneinsegg (spelling?).
Take care and good luck shopping. Sam Kochel: STi owner

This review is from: Cars of the Super Rich (Paperback)
Cars of the Super Rich (subtitled The Opulent, the Original and the Outrageous) is not just another book with the latest expensive exotic cars for those of us who haven't outgrown our adolescent fantasy cars. This book from Motorbooks International is looking to put the specialty and exotic car in its historical context. Thus, in addition to the McLaren F1s, Bugatti EB110s, and Ferrari Enzos, you will also find the desirable cars of times past such as the Bugatti Royale, the Deusenberg SJ, and the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato. In addition to the historical context, you'll also find some intersting diversions into the luxury cars of Communist Russia and China (the Chaika-Gaz 13 and the Honq Qi) and a fascinating chapter entitled "Call the Taste Police", where such worthy vehicles as the Excalibur, the Panther De Ville, and the Stutz Blackhawk of 1970 reside. For both fans of auto history and those who love the 200 mile per hour club.
