The cars became more advanced. Their shapes told the story.
An Audi Quattro looks built for rally stages. A Mazda RX-7 FD expresses speed through flowing curves. An Audi R8 turns its sideblade into an unmistakable signature. Between the 1980s and the 2000s, designers found new ways to make performance, technology, and identity visible.
From Boxy Precision to Digital Performance follows that transformation through illustrated model studies, comparative galleries, and decade timelines. Explore the crisp geometry and purposeful aero of the 1980s, the smooth surfaces and Japanese performance legends of the 1990s, and the engineering-led hypercars, retro revivals, and early electric sports cars of the 2000s.
The book's Design DNA method helps you understand the choices behind each shape: proportions and stance, face and lighting, surfaces and aerodynamics, and cabin and details. See how wider arches communicate purpose, how a roofline becomes a lasting identity, and how brands adapt familiar forms to new technology and changing expectations.
Inside, discover:
Written for enthusiasts, design students, and readers curious about the cars they grew up admiring, Volume 2 of The Evolution of Car Design connects familiar icons with the visual ideas that made them distinctive.
Recognize the icon. Understand its design.
