Legendary Japanese Sports Cars Book

Not just “Big in Japan”: The hottest sports cars from the Far East

Sports cars are not only made in Zuffenhausen and Maranello: Japanese car manufacturers also have a long and successful tradition in this segment. Just think of the futuristic Mazda 110 S Cosmo, which wowed with Wankel technology in 1967, and the Toyota 2000 GT, with which James Bond raced through the land of the rising sun in “You Only Live Twice”. Over the decades, an almost unmanageable number of models has emerged, ranging from small two-seaters to super sports cars.

In this lovingly designed illustrated book, Thomas Imhof goes in search of the most exciting Japanese bodies and brings Asian automotive history to life in breathtaking photographs.

• From Toyota 2000 to Nissan GT-R: history and background of the best sports cars from the Far East
• Compact illustrated book with over 100 photos of well-known and unknown car models
• Technical data on numerous model variants, special models and rare exotics
• With car icons like Toyota 2000 GT, Honda NSX and Subaru Impreza WRX STi
• Ideal as a gift for car lovers and Japan fans

Fascinating portraits of Japanese classic cars and current models

Not only since the ubiquitous Mazda MX-5 has it been clear how much the sporty car models from Japan have also enriched the scene in Europe. In his book, Thomas Imhof brings together all the icons from the Nissan Skyline to the Mazda RX-7 to the current Toyota Supra. The eternal duel between Subaru Impreza and Mitsubishi Lancer Evo is revived here on paper, but almost forgotten models such as the Honda CRX and Integra also find their place on the more than 100 pages. Embark on a fast-paced journey through the time of the greatest Japanese car legends!
