So much Fun History!

It is great to learn so much about Benz, speeds passing 200+ miles per hour in the 50s?!
That blew my mind. As a business owner I also noticed how Mercedes-Benz kept their customers hooked, making them want products that were not even out yet…that kind of follower-ship is built…wish this book didn’t end so fast!

JUST PLAIN FUN!

This book doesn’t go on long enough! A great presentation of behind the scenes info on the classic 1954 Gullwing and its influence on the 2010 SLS AMG.
How they had the courage and tenacity to see this car through to production is a real testament to the entrepreneurial spirit.
I’m proud to say I’ve FINALLY LEARNED what the “SLS” stands for: (Super Light Sport!)
The allure of a car that can top out at nearly 200 mph is undeniable for car aficionados, and learning the back story was just plain fun.
The bonus PDF of over 50 pages is great to have on hand, and the “fun facts” at the end are indeed fun!
I’m looking forward to the other books in J.P. Evans’ series.
And don’t be put off that this is “Book 2” - get it!
You’ll be glad you did.
