New and updated reprint of an extraordinary monographic work. The book is an unprecedented look inside the world of exotic cars. At the core of the tome is Iso, a well known Ferrari and Maserati competitor in the 1960s and 70s. Learn why a company that was virtually unknown in the GT field became the builder of cars that were called "a dream come true" and "the best that money can buy". Hear the men who made these fabulous machines talk about the design, birth and testing of all of Iso's models. But this book is much more than an in-depth examination of a single company. It also shows how the cars and the men who created and built them were influenced by the competition and the era's political, social and economic climates. |
