The book, The Fastest Cars From Around The World, reviews most of the 50 fastest cars as of 1998.  While maximum speed was the deciding factor for inclusion, acceleration figures are just as relevant to the sport car enthusiast.  Also, while the 0 to 60 mph dash has long been the standard for gauging off-the-line acceleration, this book also provides the figures for 0 to 100 mph that serves to broaden the spread and highlight the really fast cars.  In order to improve the accuracy of each covered vehicle's top speed and dash speeds, all figures have been crosschecked from multiple sources.  The major sections of "The Fastest Cars From Around The World" are as follows: 1) Introduction; 2) AC Shelby Cobra (1965); 3) Aston Martin V-8 Vantage (1977); 4) Aston Martin Vantage Zagato (1986); 5) Aston Martin Vantage (1993); 6) Aston Martin DB7 (1994); 7) BMW M1 (1979); 8) BMW 850 CSi (1993); 9) BMW M5 (1994); 10) Bugatti EB110S (1993); 11) Chevrolet Corvette (1996); 12) Chrysler Viper Venom (1995); 13) De Tomaso Pantera GTS-5 (1986); 14) Ferrari Daytona (1971); 15) Ferrari 288GTO (1986); 16) Ferrari F512M (1995); 17) Ferrari F50 (1995); 18) Ferrari F355 (1994); 19) Ferrari 456GT (1994); 20) Ferrari 550 Maranello (1996); 21) Ford GT40 MK III (1966); 22) Honda NSX (1990); 23) Iso Grifo A3L (1966); 24) Jaguar D-type (1956); 25) Jaguar XJ220 (1993); 26) Jaguar XK8 (1996); 27) Lamborghini Miura P400S (1970); 28) Lamborghini Countach QV (1986); 29) Lamborghini Diablo SE30 (1995); 30) Lister Storm GTL (1997); 31) Lotus Esprit V8 (1996); 32) Marcos Mantis (1997); 33) Maserati Bora (1973); 34) McLaren F1 (1993); 35) Mercedes-Benz 600SL (1992); 36) Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR (1997); 37) Porsche 959 (1985); 38) Porsche 928 GTS (1992); 39) Porsche 911 Turbo (1995); 40) Porsche 911GTI (1997); 41) Renault Alpine A610 (1992); 42) TVR Cerbera (1996); 43) Vauxhall Lotus Carlton (1990); 44) Venturi 400 GT (1995); 45) They Have Also Run - Isdera Imperator 108i, Spectre R42, Vector W8, Monteverdi Hai 650F1 & Ascari FGT and 46) Database - 155 cars that have exceeded 150 mph.  In addition to an informative narrative, "The Fastest Cars From Around The World" includes the following features: 1) Approximately 125 high detail color photographs and 2) 2 color illustrations.  This book is 96 pages and is in excellent condition.  The authors are Michael Bowler and Jonathan Wood.  Edition published in 1998.
