World's Fastest Cars charts the history of fast cars of all kinds, from standard production models to highly modified cars, racing cars, drag racers and land-speed-record breakers, whether powered by piston, electric or jet engine. Fact boxes and sidebars provide handy additional information on aspects of making cars go faster, from aerodynamics to the very special tyres used in drag racing. First published in 2010, this new edition has been refreshed and updated to include the latest models.
