Volkswagen Type 4: 411 and 412
by Marc Cranswick
This car was definitely an answer to a question people were asking, and it showed VW could punch way above the Beetle class—but it didn’t set the world on fire, not even in its home market. It’s a bigger story than this book can unravel, but it’s the first and only one in English.

24 HOURS, 100 Years of Le Mans

The Cartier Tank Watch
by Franco Cologni
Is it the Porsche 911 of wristwatches? Todays’ model looks recognizably like the very first one from over a hundred years ago yet each iteration pushes design and technology forward and so remains as relevant as ever.
Herbert Müller – “…alles zu langsam!”

Behind Le Mans – The Film In Photographs
by Michael Keyser
It’s almost 50 years ago that this movie was made. It was not a box office hit but—and this is the only thing that mattered to the one person who needed to make it, Steve McQueen—it was true to racing, life and death, few words and big deeds.
Cars & Curves, Vol. 2
by Stefan Bogner and Ben Winter

Sharknose V6 – Ferrari 156, Ferrari 246SP & Ferrari 196SP
by Jörg-Thomas Födisch, Rainer Rossbach
The 1960s are an era rich in motorsports glory and drama. Before the Ford-Ferrari wars became a thing it was Lotus and BRM that showed Ferrari up. Lots of photos, many unpublished before, and a context-rich story distinguish this book.
Neo Classics: From Factory to Legendary in 0 Seconds
by René Staud & Jürgen Lewandowski

Buckminster Fuller: Dymaxion Car
by Jonathan Glancey, Norman Foster

Our Le Mans, The Movie – The Friendship – The Facts
by Hans Hamer, editor
That movie destroyed friendships and budgets and schedules. It probably didn’t help anyone’s career. And there’s also a less talked-about side to it, recorded just in time before its author died.
