"'365 Sports Cars You Must Drive' puts you in the driver's seat of a century's worth of sports car legends (and a few rather less legendary), each presented with a fun and informative profile and fact-and-spec box. It's the ultimate gearhead's bucket list and poses the challenge: How many have you driven? Whoever coined the phrase "getting there is half the fun" must have owned a sports car. And the wag who suggested that "it's the journey not the destination"? Probably driving a Lotus or MG at the time. From towering 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 can. In one beautiful book, long-time Road & Truck' magazine chief photographer John Lamm, along with other top motoring contributors, gives the reader illustrated profiles of every sports car you've ever dreamed of driving! Now, imagine if you could drive a different sports car -- any sports car -- every single day for a year. Which would you choose?"--From publisher.

John Lamm is a respected, long-time automotive journalist and photographer who covers sports and racing cars for Road & Track. After attending a road race at Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, he decided to become an automotive journalist and began his career with Motor Trend magazine in Los Angeles. In 1975, he moved to Road & Track, where he remains editor-at-large to this day. Lamm has won the International Motor Press Association's Ken Purdy Award and the Motor Press Guild's Dean Batchelor Award.

Steve Sutcliffe has been a car journalist for over 30 years, and is currently a contributing editor to Auto Express and its sister magazine Evo, after working as road test editor at What Car? and editor of Autocar. He is also a successful racing driver, competing in the BTCC with Lexus and for the factory team in the TVR Tuscan Challenge. He has competed in the Nurburgring 24h and finished on the podium with Aston Martin in the Silverstone 24h. He was one of the first journalists ever to be allowed to drive a current F1 car, setting highly competitive times around Silverstone in Jenson Button’s Honda RA107.

Sutcliffe, Steve.
