Ford GT: The Legend Comes to Life

Few of us will ever own the Ford GT super car, but we can all get an inside look at its history and development in Ford GT: The Legend Comes to Life. Author Larry Edsall takes us step by step through the design and construction of the GT, starting with a short history of its almost unbeatable ancestor, the original GT 40. With a forward by the legendary Carroll Shelby, superb color photography and sharp, concise copy, this is a great book for fans of a great car.

Ferrari Formula 1

If you're certified gearhead, then Ferrari Formula 1 by Peter Wright is the book for you. It's an incredibly detailed behind-the-scenes technical analysis of Ferrari's championship winning F1-2000 Formula 1 race car. Granted unprecedented access to the normally secret world of Ferrari engineering and design, Mr. Wright shows us the real nuts, bolts and software of modern race car design. It hardly qualifies as light reading, but if you're fascinated by serious technical detail, this is definitely a must read.
