“This is not the usual marque history book, although it does give enough of the background to satisfy … It also happens to be a beautifully created book at a surprisingly reasonable price.” Auto Aficionado. “Impeccably captures the ethos of the ‘new kid on the block’ and ably recounts both the marque’s remarkable growing pains and successes … Pick it up, open at any page and marvel at the superb quality and stunning photographs.” Evening Standard News (UK).Lamborghini Today: A Tempo Furioso tells how a noble and revered Italian brand is forging its way into the future under the ownership of Audi AG. With strong support from Lamborghini itself, Stephan Gruhsem and Peter Vann devoted more than two years of research to this book. The two were allowed unrestricted access to all of the Lamborghini's departments, where they held detailed discussions with engineers, designers, and production and management staff. Additionally, Gruhsem and Vann enjoyed the inestimable pleasure of driving each new Lamborghini. They even took a Murcielago to Andalusia, Spain, to see for themselves where the celebrated Miura fighting bulls are bred. The results of their labors speak for themselves: fascinating photos and emotive writing that bring Lamborghini to life in all its facets. Daily Telegraph. Many people modify their Harley-Davidson engines--and find the results disappointing. What they might not know--and what this book teaches--is that emphasizing horsepower over torque, the usual approach, makes for a difficult ride. Author Bill Rook has spent decades perfecting the art of building torque-monster V-twin Harley engines. Here he brings that experience to bear, guiding motorcycle enthusiasts through the modifications that make a bike not just fast but comfortable to ride. With clear, step-by-step instructions, his book shows readers how to get high performance out of their Harleys--and enjoy them, too.
