This first volume of the Mercedes-Benz Coupe book addresses the journey from what was a functional sports car design to what has become the incomparable Mercedes-Benz 'Sports Coupe'.

Its timeless body design has remained, even today, both a dream car and a dream Coupe to anyone who aspires to follow in the early individualists who chose style and elegance over practicality.

With over 300 photographs and illustrations, this book includes:

An overview of the early days of 'Sports-Car' design
The influences of aerodynamics on design evolution
Early protagonists at Daimler-Benz and how they influenced the design of the Coupe shape
How the Racing Coupe influenced what became the production Sport Coupe
The experimental and one-off prototypes
The continuation of the Super Sport Light concept through the 'S-Class' range
