Top Gear Portfolio: The World's Greatest Cars

World-class car photography from Top Gear MagazineFor the petrolheads at Top Gear Magazine, car photography is about more than just a car on a stretch of tarmac. It's about ultimate escapism. For Top Gear, a truly great photograph should instantly transport you to the location and behind the wheel, delivering the speed, power, and atmosphere of the moment in one shot. In this collection of the magazine's finest car photography, readers can get up close and personal with the hottest cars of recent years in some of the most stunning locations. They will see the world reflected in gleaming bodywork, raindrops on windscreens at 90 mph, and the blur of wheels against a backdrop of epic vistas. This is the perfect coupling of automotive masterpieces of design and world-class photography.

Advertised book dimensions are incorrect but this is a small format book (6.5 x 7.75 inches), so many of the pictures are really small. As the title indicates this is a portfolio (pictures and a little more). Car brand and model are indicated below each picture. The book has an index with a comment about each picture. In my oppinion, a portfolio should have a bigger format.

I bought this book for my husband. It is a pretty good book but it only has pictures of the greatest cars in it. I was expecting some information about each of the cars. It also took forever to ship, almost a month. One of the longest shipments I have had through

I wondered evaluate to how many stars the book deserves, four or five? The size could be a problem, after all, a book edited primarily of images should be slightly larger. On second thought, never mind. It's as minimalist as could be. Okay, some cars that i love were not there, and probably yours also do not are. But it's amazing how all the other cars you love are there, how so? Even if you flip through few times, you need it. It's your list of the world's greatest cars in one book!

Beautiful photography, but the over-all small size really hurts the presentation. My only complaint is that I will it was a full coffee-table book size!
