In this section, Icon-Icon dives into luxury cars \u2014 a new cornerstone to understand luxury as a total form of art.\r\n\r\nThe history of luxury cars dates back to the very invention of cars. Luxury vehicles are more than mere means of transport: they are wheeled works of art. And while it is true that luxury standards keep changing, some cars stand as timeless icons \u2014 glamour and elegant movie cars...\r\n\r\nIn terms of movie cars, the Ferrari Testarossa immediately comes to mind. A modern racing car. Vividly red, it is a symbol of the 1980s peak period, with, amongst other things, the TV series Miami Vice.\r\n\r\nCars made by talented manufacturers, whether we are talking about F1 or mere style \u2014 Cadillac, Bugatti, Porsche, Ferrari, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Bentley, Maserati, Rolls Royce, Mercedes, and many others... How could we forget James Bond\u2019s cars, made by Aston Martin \u2014 cars with crazy equipment. The Aston Martin DB5 is the epitome of stylish cars!\r\n\r\nIn this book selection, Icon-Icon offers a dive into the heart of the expertise and the history of these genius manufacturers. But this dive was made possible thanks to true insiders of the luxury car industry, which is, in the end, still a somewhat secret sector.\r\n\r\nThese books shed a new light on some of the personalities behind these technological treasures. A combination of boldness, craziness and genius... There is indeed something that drives these pioneers, who have left a sensational legacy \u2014 cars with solid pedigrees, amazing technology and often impressive F1 records!\r\n\r\nBecause, usually, behind these cars lie manufacturers that can run races that are as chic as they are dangerous. From the most chic circuits, like the Circuit de Monaco and the Manza Circuit, in Italy, to the most delicate races like Silverstone, Daytona International Speedway, the Mexican Grand Prix, and also the Carrera Panamericana...\r\n\r\n\r\nBecause the elegance of these outstanding cars usually comes with Formula 1 records established by the same manufacturers. We are talking about the encounter between aesthetics and performance...\r\n\r\nThis book selection will immerse you in the splendid, opulent and sensational universe of these cars, which are as rare as they are coveted. Essential books, many of which were published in beautiful and rich editions by publishing houses that are specifically renowned for their beautiful books: Assouline, Taschen, and also Prestige!\r\n\r\nBooks that dive into the breathtaking shows offered by these beautiful cars during races such as those occurring at the Daytona International Speedway! The relationship between F1 and luxury cars is so strong that it is depicted in cinema, with films that have become iconic\u00a0themselves. For example, Le Mans<\/i>, with Steve McQueen driving a\u00a0Porsche 917 K\u00a0during the race of the same name. He is wearing a Tag Heuer watch.\r\n\r\nHere is something else readers will find in this book selection: an overall understanding of the relationship between renowned watchmakers, car manufacturers, F1 and luxury cars...
