Epic Failures - 50 Great Motoring Cock-Ups

Top Gear has given us the world's most popular TV show with three of the world's most obnoxious presenters. This gift book of Epic Failures provides Top Gear's take on some of motoring's biggest marketing and design disasters. Whether it's Ford designing a car that looks like a lady's nether parts, Toyota accidentally calling their car ‘the merde' (in France) or Mitsubishi unveiling their new ‘Starion' after mishearing calls from head office in Japan to call it the ‘Stallion', the list of great motoring cock-ups of our time is a long and distinguished one so Top Gear has delved deep into the annals of motoring history to bring you the definitive list that the automotive industry would rather forget. 

The definitive guide to the top 50 of Motoring Scew-ups, this countdown of crap cars and mistakes is narrated in the Top Gear inimitable style. Ideal for petrol heads who like to spend time in their backyard shed or garage and for fans of the history of motoring in general. Makes a great Christmas stocking filler, or secret Santa gift.
