365 Sports Cars You Must Drive

 A new book by By John Lamm with Larry Edsall & Steve Sutcliffe

A DIFFERENT SPORTS CAR FOR EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR!

Sports cars make up one of the most beloved automotive genres for the majority of car fans – in fact, you’ve probably heard that “Getting there is half the fun” and “It’s the journey not the destination” well, whoever coined those phrases was probably driving a Ferrari or a Porsche!

365 Sports Cars You Must Drive provides fun facts and overviews on the greatest, oddest, most beautiful, and most ill considered sports cars of all time. Every sports car you’ve ever dreamed of driving - and a few that never occurred to you – is presented in this entertaining volume making this the perfect read for all automotive enthusiasts.

365 Sports Cars You Must Drive includes hyper-performing German supercars to classic British roadsters, including icons like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, and Corvette to everyman sportsters from Triumph, MG, Sunbeam and Miata to oddballs like Crosley, Sabra, and DB. Sports cars inspire passion and strong opinions as few other vehicles on the road could and authors John Lamm, Larry Edsall and Steve Sutcliffe put you in the driver’s seat of 365 unique sports cars, each with a road to travel and a story to tell.

How many have you driven……..dreamed about……….or even shuddered at the thought of?
