From the science fiction inspired concept cars of the 1950s to the remarkably innovative designs of the present day, here are the cars that push the boundaries of automotive design to the limit. Featured are designs that opened the doors to future innovations, as well as the cars that actually made it to production, such as the new VW Beetle and the Porsche Boxster. Key car designers such as Norman Bel Geddes, the “father of streamlining,” and Peter Schreyer, the man responsible for the Audi TT, are covered as well. 190 color photographs and illustrations are included in this discovery of the fantastic, the extraordinary, and just plain outlandish creations of the automotive industry.

Well Researched Book,
This review is from: Concept Cars: Designing for the Future (Hardcover)
This book of Concept Cars by Richard Dredge is well researched. He seems to include photos and information for almost every concept car made by automakers throughout the world in the last 20 years.
The photos used throughout the book are less than wonderful, however. The photos, large in size for each car, is fuzzy with no studio lighting used or color correcting to make each image appear it's best. The same car photos are also used in his smaller book, Dream Cars. This 4" x 6" format book is a great size for resolution of the cars photographed. But don't stand up when used in this larger format book here. Great reading though!
