SLJ Review of Cool Cars
Gearheads will love the flashy cars showcased in these books. The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 can go from zero to 60 in 4.2 seconds, and testing is underway to make it fully electric. The Koenigsegg Regera is called the King of Cars, its nickname coming from its regal design and majestic performance. Not to be left behind, the Acura NSX and Ford GT are luxury models that outperform most other coupes on the market. Each book runs through the dimensions and engine specs of the cars, plus their body constructions. The highly visual presentation of this series leans on the impressive designs of the cars, the photo-heavy layouts supplemented with infographic factoids that impart extra knowledge. While the nonfiction text is sparse, forcing the writing into the back.
