Cars 1990 to Present Days : Production Goes World Wide

This book is a part of the most comprehensive work ever completed on the history of the automobile. In the series "A World of Wheels", you will learn about the birth of the modern motorcar in detail, from the very first Benz carriage to the super technical cars of the present day. All of the information is described by some of the best automobile historians in the world. In this final part of "A World of Wheels" we will closely examine the technical development of the nineties to present day. Turbochargers, multi-valve engines, catalytic converters, four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, active suspension and safety devices -- it's all there. This was also a time for national characteristics and international trends. The nineties were a golden age of company mergers, when smaller manufacturers were bought up by the leading giants of the country. Book jacket.
