		Top Gear: Daft Cars (TopGear)

From flying cars to amphibious vehicles, solar-powered saloons to rockets on wheels, these are over 50 of the most wacky cars ever devised. Fancy a car that drives sideways? Try the Jeep Hurricane. Or maybe a car in which the windows change colour according to your mood for a more serene and health-giving driving experience? That'll be the Toyota RiN. And if you like a flutter, you'll need the Chrysler Town and Country Black Jack, which contains a mini onboard casino.

Some concept cars are designed to demonstrate alternative materials and energy sources, or to showcase the gadgets of the future, or even cater for specific lifestyles or groups of people. Many don't even get beyond the prototype stage - for reasons of cost or practicality, or, in the case of the nuclear-powered Ford Nucleon of 1958, the danger of causing a small atomic explosion. Featuring everything from practical experiments such as the hatchback fire engine, and ideas that have managed to make it into production, to stunning yet impractical supercar concepts, this book both celebrates and cringes at some of motoring's most daft - and even idiotic - ideas.

In the history of cars there are some real clunkers that actually made it into production. This book is full of them and the author has a field day making fun of them. Some of them are only sketches, as in the Ford Nucleon, but most are real prototypes that companies waisted money actually building.
My only complaint is that the details about the cars is very limited, usually only a paragraph or two. Otherwise a very funny book.

A quick read, filled with wry & dry humor, and you definitely don't need to be a gearhead to enjoy it. Daft Cars also makes a nice companion book to Naff Motors, Crap Cars & the like.

A must if you are getting more mature and are a gearhead. Lots of memories of those old cars that I grew up with.

These are mostly concept cars, many of which could and were not designed to ever move. The writer bounces all over the place on what type of cars should be in the book. Hates most American and French cars and thinks the only bad car England ever produced was Aston martins. This work could have been done in a weekend.
