Fast Forward: The World's Most Unique Cars Hardcover – August 21, 2017

by Gestalten (Editor)

See all formats and editions
These cars are futuristic, utopian, eccentric, and always ahead of their time. From models that were never presented to consumers to those produced as limited series, Fast Forward shows cars that pique people’s interest and enthusiasm. From cars never shown to those models that see small production runs, Fast Forward presents vehicles that are just as much sculpture as automobile. Iconic winglets adorn models from the 50s. Automobiles of the 70s appear to be works of science fiction rather than modes of transportation. Classic interpretations and vintage prototypes that hinted at the future of yesteryear. Every decade has it own ideas of the future. The timeline of concept cars is narrated through an alluring pairing of project images and stories from inside studio walls. Designers discuss the catalysts behind their creations from the first scribble upon a blank page to a 3D model to the roadways. Fast Forward showcases the past, present, and, in the true spirit of concept cars, the future of this intriguing and diverse realm.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“One of the most fascinating elements of the book is the way in which the most contemporary concepts―with their aerodynamically rounded zeppelin shape and lounge seating―mimic some of the earliest aeronautically and nautically inspired streamlined concepts.” ― AD ― Architectural Digest

Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2017
Looking for a beautifully-crafted book filled with incredible images and a bit of unusual automotive history? This is the book for you. I got my copy of Fast Forward as an unexpected gift and it took me less than 6 seconds to go from surprise to awe. Make no mistake... Fast Forward is not just some coffee table book. Instead, this is a feast of imagery and words that will satisfy any car enthusiast's fantasy. Flipping through the pages I came across dozens of makes and models unknown to the average reader. I consider myself fairly knowledgable about all things automotive and I am more than pleased with my book. Highly recommended.

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2017
Fast Forward The World's Most Unique Cars also known as Fast Forward The Cars of The Future,The Future Of Cars

Despite some of the most coolest cars chosen,the book seems like a repeat of other books I have already read and in my collection as well.For Example the cover car is the same as another book from another publisher, they could have put some cool Retro/Vintage Car on the Cover such as the 1965 Mako Shark II Corvette or the any of the GM Firebird Concept Cars . I was expecting something else I am very disappointed.

ガンディー二やベルトーネの本はかなり買いましたが、同じクルマでも初めて見る写真がたくさんありました。
他にも、アメリカ人デザイナーによる有名なドリームカーもたくさん紹介されており、とても満足の一冊でした。
この値段では考えられない内容の一冊です。
