The Guinness World Car Record

Compiled from a detailed computer database, this book lists details of the performance and technical specifications of the thousands of cars offered for sale since 1885. The reader is able to find out which cars have been designed by Bertone or Pininfarina, or which production cars made since 1895 have been supercharged; to see a list of all cars which can exceed 100 mph, or can accelerate to 60 mph in under seven seconds; and to find details of the long cars, the short cars, the high and low power-to-weight ratio cars, the frugal cars, the thirsty cars, the cars with adjustable suspension systems, the electric cars, the steam cars, the wood and fabric cars, the plastic cars and the aluminium cars. Divided into two parts, the book first presents the cars in ranked order under various list titles, cross-referenced to performance and technical specifications in the second section, in which the cars appear alphabetically by make and model.
