Seit Anbeginn der Zeit sucht der Mensch endlos nach schnelleren Wegen zu reisen. Seit der Erfindung des Rades, dem ersten Flugversuch von Lcarus, der Domestizierung von Wildpferden und der Entdeckung der Seefahrer, wie man den Wind in ihren Segeln nutzt, haben wir versucht, andere, schnellere Elemente der Natur nachzuahmen. Mit den permanenten Effekten der industriellen Revolution war das 20. Jahrhundert ein zeitphänomenaler Wandel: Frühe Schreibmaschinen sind zu brillanten Computern geworden, die ersten pferdellosen Kutschen haben Indy-Autos Platz gemacht, Speichen- und Holzräder wurden in hochmoderne Luftgummireifen verwandelt und Holzjollen haben sich in Fiberglas-Kraftboote verwandelt.
Speed and Power dokumentiert alle weltweit größten mechanischen Errungenschaften der 100 Jahre in nur einem Band. Von NASCAR-Helden bis zum japanischen Bullet Train; Motorrad-Grand Prix bis hin zu Wassergeschwindigkeitsrekorden; solarbetriebene Autos bis hin zu Formel-1-Maschinen – jeder Rekordhalter ist mit seiner Höchstgeschwindigkeit und einer vollständigen Liste von Erfolgen ausgestattet. Experten in jedem Fach erzählen die Geschichte der motorisierten Geschwindigkeit in ihren verschiedenen Kategorien, begleitet von Farbfotos und faszinierenden Anekdoten. Speed and Power ist der definitive Leitfaden zu den schnellsten und aufregendsten Maschinen der Welt des 20. Jahrhunderts. Ein Informationsrausch für Enthusiasten und Anfänger gleichermaßen.
