Book Description
The Porsche 911 is an automotive legend, a super successful automotive icon that has been in production for 50 years, won in every major motorsport discipline and yet, on the street, has retained breathtaking appeal as a practical and involving, high performance sports car. Success in both competition and in the showroom has gone hand in hand for the 911, improving a reputation for reliability and robustness without losing any of the raw appeal of the original. And with the 997, the 911 story reached a new peak. At launch in late 2004, just two 997 models were available - the Carrera with 325hp (238kW) or the 355hp (260kW) Carrera S. Nevertheless, in typically Porsche style the range expanded quickly to include cabriolets, wide-body four wheel drive models, awesome turbocharged grand tourers and race bred GT3s. In the completely revised Generation 2 models from the start of the 2009 model year, the 997 set the standard in modern high performance sports car design. This all-new book is a one step reference for all the production 997s built between 2004 and 2012, describing the detail differences , year by year changes, vehicle identification data, performance, colors and options. Using color photography throughout, renowned marque experts Grant Neal and Peter Morgan offer detailed buying and ownership tips and how to get the best from your 997.

Book Description
The wedge-shaped V12 Lamborghini flagships were always spectacular – in shape, sound and performance.The Murciélago was an evolution of the Countach and the Diablo, and was as iconic in its time as its illustrious predecessors were in theirs. This book examines the Murcielago in detail, while casting a look back through Lamborghini’s troubled history, to understand how the Murciélago came into being. Ferrucio Lamborghini, Patrick Minram, Megatech, Chrysler, and finally VW-Audi, all played their part in the birth of this modern classic. The book touches on the people and organisations involved in the production of this iconic car, before examining each of the model variants, and discusses the joys and tribulations of ownership.

Book Description
The Lotus Europa was Colin Chapman and Lotus’s first mid-engined road car, and was produced from 1966 through to 1975. Originally designed to slot into the Lotus range below the Elan as a low cost replacement for the Lotus 7, the Europa eventually sat alongside the Elan and Plus 2 as a comparable sports car in its own right. Starting with the design philosophy behind the development of the Europa, this book provides detailed technical descriptions of all the major versions of the model, starting with the Renault-powered Series 1 through to the Lotus Twin Cam powered Special. It looks at the cars on the road, and the racing Type 47 derived from the road cars which competed in the small capacity Group 6 class, as well as featuring in historic racing today. With owners’ impressions and interviews with ex-Lotus employees, the book provides a valuable insight into owning, running, and racing these iconic cars.
