Some are well-known, grail-level rides. Some are one-off curiosities. But every automobile featured in Rare Cars: The World's Most Exclusive Rides is worthy of artwork-style inspection. Penned and curated by auto journalist A.J. Baime, it highlights 40 cars from 1931 to the present day. From the first Colombo V12-powered Ferrari to a 24-karat gold-plated DeLorean to modern masterpieces like the Pagani Zonda Barchetta, each car is accompanied by outstanding full-color photography and informative prose. Befitting the subject, the hardcover's front features a mounted metal title plaque and is fabricated in lightly scented rubber, and arrives in a handcrafted metal clamshell with an interior lined in hand-stitched Italian leather.
