# The Car Miscellany: Fascinating Facts for Motoring Buffs - Hardcover

by **Simon Heptinstall** (Author)

Did you know that the Hennessey Venom F5 is the world's fastest road car, with an official top speed of 301mph? That the Toyota Corolla is the bestselling car of all time? Or that you can instantly cool down a car that has been sitting in the sun by rolling down the window on one side and opening and closing the door on the other side five or six times? Car books often take themselves too seriously or are about hugely expensive models that most people can only aspire to. This new title includes all types of cars (modern, classic, road, race, real, and imaginary), as well as engines and all things automotive. The lists, infographics, and nuggets of information will appeal to those who love cars or who just enjoy brilliant pieces of trivia.
