Flaptekst van het boek van Martin Roemers de Nederlandse fotograaf

“What happens when you isolate a vehicle from its chaotic surroundings? Can it tell us something about the culture it comes from? About the person who uses it? Or about society itself?” (Martin Roemers)

Photographer Martin Roemers traveled the world armed with a large white backdrop, a camera, and one simple question: “Would you pose with your vehicle for me?”

The result is an eye-opening collection of images that raises pressing questions about our current global society. “What about the environmental impact of our addiction to oil and engines?” but also: “Does your choice of vehicle express something about your identity?”

At the same time, Roemers’ images almost instantly bring a smile to your face.

Homo mobilis is interspersed with behind-the-scenes shots that clearly reveal the scale and ambition of this project.

Martin Roemers was born on August 21, 1962, in Oldehove, Groningen in the Netherlands. He is a Dutch photographer. His work is included in the collections of institutions including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas, and The Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. His work has received numerous awards, including two World Press Photo Awards.

Flaptekst boek over de auto’s van het Zweedse Saab

This handy full-colour guide covers the complete history of Saab’s cars. Chapters cover each of Saab’s models, including the 93 and 96 saloons that enjoyed much success in rallying, the 95 station wagon and the striking Sonett sports cars. The SaabO caravan and the Formula Junior racing car built during this period are also presented.

More than a dozen years after the last cars rolled off the production lines in Trollhättan, Saab still commands a keen following among car enthusiasts around the world. During the 60 years of its existence, Saab became renowned for the aerodynamic design, technical innovation and sturdy construction of its cars, which famously appealed to individualists and creative thinkers.

This handy full-colour guide covers the complete history of Saab’s cars. The story begins with the ‘Ursaab’ prototype and the original 92, which went into production in 1949 as the company branched out from aircraft manufacture after the war; it continues through to the final second-generation 9-5 models in 2011, launched when the company was struggling to stay afloat.

Individual chapters are devoted to each of Saab’s models, including the 93 and 96 saloons, which enjoyed much success in rallying, the 95 station wagon and the striking Sonett sports cars. The SaabO caravan and the Formula Junior racing car that Saab built during this period are also presented.

These early models were followed by the larger 99 and the much-loved and highly successful 900 range. The book features detailed specifications for each version of these two models, including the first turbocharged variants, with which Saab has become synonymous. In 1985, the 9000 took the marque further upmarket and into partnership with Fiat, Lancia and Alfa Romeo.

The guide continues into the 1990s and 2000s, when General Motors progressively took control of Saab’s automotive division. Its bestsellers during this period were its 9-3 and 9-5 ranges, based on GM platforms. Less well-known, especially in Europe, are its 9-4X and 9-7X all-wheel-drive models, not forgetting the 9-2X, a badge-engineered version of the Subaru Impreza. All these models are also presented.

Each chapter provides an introduction to the development and evolution of each model, as well as comprehensive technical information. Production numbers and dates are given, as well as details of limited editions. The book is extensively illustrated in full colour, with many archive photographs from Saab Automobile and the Saab Car Museum showing the cars’ interior and exterior design.

Julian Parish hails from the south of England, but has now lived and worked in France for many years. After a career in publishing and international software development, Julian now contributes regularly to magazines including Classic & Sports Car, and translates motoring content from French and German into English. He has both written and translated several of Veloce’s Essential Buyer’s Guides, mainly concentrating on the Mercedes-Benz marque for which he has a particular passion. He has also written the popular travel guides ‘France: The Essential Guide for Car Enthusiasts’ and ‘The Essential Guide to Driving in Europe,’ also published by Veloce. Julian is a member of the Guild of Motoring Writers.

Flaptekst van het boek over de meest iconische boeken uit de film

Buckle up for a wildly entertaining, richly informative, and visually stunning look under the hood of the most indelible cars and motorcycles ever captured on celluloid.

Goldfinger’s Aston Martin DB5… Bullitt’s Mustang GT 390… Thelma & Louise’s ’66 Ford Thunderbird convertible… are just three of the thirty-five iconic silver-screen dream machines featured in RIDE. These vehicles are characters in their own right and every bit as stylish and sexy as their famous flesh-and-blood costars. Whether they’re stealing scenes, saving the day, or just peeling away from Johnny Law in a cloud of dust, the on-screen cars and motorcycles in these pages are the reason why many of us first went—and continue to go—to the movies. 

A loving tribute to the machines that made the movies, RIDE is a stunningly designed and boldly opinionated collectors’ keepsake packed with fresh interviews with famous car aficionados like Jay Leno, Stephen King, Michael Bay, NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, and many more. Featuring a fast-and-furious feast of gorgeous photography, immersive maps and illustrations, and insider commentary, RIDE tells the stories behind the stories of some of Hollywood’s most celebrated films, including The Spy Who Loved Me, Mad Max, Vanishing Point, Christine, The Dark Knight, Easy Rider, and so many more.

Flaptekst van het boek over bijzondere ontwerpen van het automerk Porsche

Since the foundation of the Porsche design office 75 years ago, the archive has been part of the company and the Porsche brand. It is the company’s memory and database, filled with hundreds of thousands of exhibits. As a result, not every item on the inventory list can be shown to museum visitors. For the first time in their history, the Zuffenhausen-based company is presenting 100 extraordinary and often previously unseen exhibits from the depths of the company archive.

In close cooperation with experts and historians from the Porsche Corporate Archives, automotive journalist and Porsche expert Jan-Henrik Muche has compiled a selection of the most interesting archive documents and exhibits and tells their amazing stories. Specially taken photos are flanked by historical footage and never-before-seen photographs from the archive.

Jan-Henrik Muche is born 1971. He is a well-known motoring journalist and editor-in-chief of the ‘Porsche Fahrer‘ magazine for more than 15 years. He has published numerous automotive titles besides Porsche on Audi and Opel as well.

Flaptekst van het boek over de Mercedes-AMG auto’s

Take a lap through the complete illustrated history of the powerful Mercedes-AMG, from the Red Pig racer to today’s 1063-plus horsepower Mercedes-AMG ONE.

For decades Mercedes-Benz was known primarily as a builder of luxury sedans, grand touring coupes, and handsome roadsters. But racers like its 1950s Silver Arrows and the stunning 300SL were reminders that performance lurked in its DNA, never far below the surface. Wanting to set that performance free, two former Mercedes-Benz engineers, Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher, teamed up in 1967 to focus on building M-B-based racing machines. Mercedes-AMG recounts the unlikely, amazing story of how they remade a stodgy Benz sedan into the all-conquering Red Pig racer and thus launched one of Germany’s greatest high-performance car companies: AMG.

Considerable success in endurance and touring-class competition led AMG to a second business modifying production Mercedes-Benzes for enthusiast customers. By the 1980s, AMG was designing and building high-performance engine assemblies allowing them to modify M-B engines to previously unknown levels of performance. Thus were born legendary cars like the AMG Hammer.

Mercedes was well aware of AMG’s success, and in 1990 a formal arrangement was made between the two companies leading to jointly developed performance cars sold and serviced through M-B dealerships. In 2005, M-B purchased AMG outright, leading to the creation of Mercedes-AMG, the high-performance arm of the company.

Mercedes-AMG covers the full history of these German powerhouse cars, including:

  • Early racing exploits in the 1960s
  • The iconic Hammer and Black Series cars
  • Today’s exclusive, high-performance Mercedes-AMG models ranging from the 420hp A45 hatchback to the 680hp C63 station wagon to the outrageous 1063hp Mercedes-AMG ONE
  • Prototypes, racing, and special models

Flaptekst van het boek over de Trans-Am raceauto’s die streden Mustang en Camaro tussen 1866 en 1972

Tells the story of the Mustang and Camaro in Trans-Am racing, and the models’ competition records. Includes the histories of their competitors – Detroit’s ‘big four’ – and their commitment to achieving sales success through the Trans-Am series.

In April 1964, Ford’s Mustang pony car stormed onto the scene, igniting a sales phenomenon that forced Detroit’s other automakers to scramble to create their own competitors. Around the same time, the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) was transforming from a purely amateur organisation into a professional racing powerhouse, introducing prize-money championships.

By 1966, the SCCA launched two landmark series: the Canadian-American Challenge Cup (Can-Am) and the Trans-American Sedan Championship (Trans-Am). While Can-Am focused on unlimited FIA Group 7 sports cars, Trans-Am catered to FIA Group 2 touring cars, with classes divided by engine sizes: up to 2000cc and 2001-5000cc. The Over-2000cc class was crafted specifically with the Mustang in mind, ensuring Ford’s interest and leveraging the growing pony car wars.

Chevrolet answered Ford’s Mustang with the launch of the Camaro in September 1966, sparking fierce competition on the track and in showrooms. Soon, Mercury, Pontiac, Dodge, Plymouth, and AMC joined the fray, turning the Trans-Am series into a battleground for Detroit’s ‘Big Four’. Manufacturers saw Trans-Am success as a path to dominance, investing heavily in developing race-ready cars and unleashing low-production homologation specials like the Mustang Boss 302, Camaro Z28, Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am, AMC Javelin Mark Donohue Edition, Dodge Challenger T/A, and Plymouth ’Cuda AAR—now some of the rarest and most valuable classic American cars.

Beyond the famous Mustang and Camaro rivalry, this book uncovers the untold stories of their challengers and the relentless pursuit of sales glory. Mercury nearly claimed the championship in 1967, and AMC triumphed in 1971 and 1972 with Penske Racing. The fierce competition left an indelible mark on American motorsport history.

A chapter also explores lesser-known contenders from outside the U.S., such as Ford Falcon Sprints in the British Saloon Car Championship and the powerful Holden Monaros and Ford Falcons that dominated Australian circuits.

This is more than just a tale of Mustang versus Camaro—it’s the story of an era when Detroit’s finest fought to conquer the track and the showroom floor, leaving a legacy of engineering brilliance and motorsport passion.

  • Discover the Genesis of the Pony Car Wars: Explore how Ford’s Mustang ignited a competitive frenzy among Detroit’s automakers, inspiring iconic rivals like Chevrolet’s Camaro, Pontiac’s Firebird, and more.
  • Uncover the Birth of Trans-Am Racing: Learn about the SCCA’s revolutionary Trans-American Sedan Championship, crafted to showcase pony cars in professional racing and capture the spirit of American motorsport.
  • Experience the Fierce Rivalries of Detroit’s Big Four: Follow the high-stakes battles between Ford, Chevrolet, Mercury, AMC, and others as they fought for glory on the track and dominance in the marketplace.
  • Celebrate the Iconic Homologation Specials: Delve into the stories behind rare, race-inspired legends like the Mustang Boss 302, Camaro Z28, and Plymouth ’Cuda AAR, now considered some of the most coveted classic cars.
  • Go Beyond American Shores: Expand your knowledge with a chapter dedicated to international competition, featuring cars like the Ford Falcon Sprints in Britain and the powerful Holden Monaros in Australia.
