| | | | | MOTORBOOKS BLOG | Having recently turned 70 years old, Giacomo Agostini - the motorcycle world's champion of champions, who won fifteen motorcycle world championships between 1966 and 1975 - has opened his vast personal archives for the first time. They provide a sea of invaluable, exciting, never-before-seen photographs spanning his entire competitive racing life. Agostini's formidable memory reveals every moment of his incomparable and extraordinary career, and Giorgio Nada Editore is now the proud publisher of his pictorial autobiography. For the making of Giacomo Agostini: A Life in Pictures, Agostini worked with Mario Donnini - revered Italian journalist - to write the text. The result is the vibrant, definitive story of the greatest motorcycle racer ever to grace the world's circuits - above all the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, the oldest and most dangerous race of all, which was won by "Ago" no fewer than ten times. |
| | | Dear ASD,
I think that anyone who drives has at one point or another coveted a Porsche. As the Porsche 911 celebrates 50 years, Motorbooks is proud to present the definitive book on this sought-after automobile. You can buy the book now for $37.50, which is 25% off the cover price. |
 In Porsche 911: 50 Years, bestselling author Randy Leffingwell celebrates a half-century of one of the world's premiere sports cars, focusing on the major themes that have defined Porsche's rear-engined wonder. He tells the whole story - design and development, racing and competition, engineering and technology, style and culture. All the iconic 911 models are included: the original 901 prototype that set the standard; the legendary RS models that made the little Porsche a dominant force on the world's racetracks; the infamous Turbo, the car that kept the performance flame alight during the dark, dismal decade of the 1970s; the fabled 959, the model that redefined the term "sports car"; the 993, last of the original air-cooled models; and the 996, 997, and 991, the liquid-cooled cars that brought the 911 into a new millennium.
Beyond telling the story of the cars, this book also spotlights the people behind them: Ferdinand "Butzi" Porsche, the son of legendary Porsche founder Ferdinand "Ferry" Porsche, who co-designed the instantly recognizable 911 shape; Peter W. Schutz, the Porsche CEO who saved the 911 from extinction; and Dr. Helmuth Bott, the engineering genius behind many of the groundbreaking technologies that have defined the 911, including fuel injection, turbocharging, and all-wheel-drive. Leffingwell also tells the story of the 911 community-the clubs and culture that surround the car. Together, all of these facets make Porsche 911: 50 Years the most essential book in any Porsche fan's library. |
