Sometimes, though, the limited production runs will preclude even the wealthiest of motoring enthusiasts from acquiring their dream car.

The engineering development of added aesthetic value and impressive track specifications have played a huge role in the automotive market of supercars, both beneath the hood and on the exterior. Regardless of whether you would be able to push these supercars to the limit on the roads, they are still considered objects of beauty and are held in esteem for the precision engineering and dynamic styling that goes into their construction. This publication profiles some of the most inspired and desired supercars the automotive industry has ever seen.

When the 495bhp Gallardo was launched in 2004, motoring journalists were impressed - this stylish supercar combined the ferocity of Lamborghini with the polish and practicality of Audi and, being lower in price, it did not scorch the wallet quite as much as its bigger brother, the Murcielago. Lamborghinis have always quickened the pulse, of course, and this book shows why. Packed with model analysis, driving impressions, technical specifications, buying hints, personal anecdotes and sumptuous photographs, it tells the story of this exotic marque, from the peasant background of founder Ferruccio Lamborghini, to its burning ambition to beat Ferrari in the manufacture of supercars.
