Modern cars are more complex than ever before. In the last ten years especially, car designers have had to turn to high technology in order to meet ever more stringent emission control and safety regulations, whilst meeting the demands of customers for better cars. This extensively illustrated all-colour book sets out to give the non-technically minded reader an idea of how the systems on a modern car work, and provide answers to the questions which so often arise when talking about modern cars. Both current technology and future developments are explored, and this book will appeal to car owners who would like to know more about what goes on beneath the skin of their cars, and to car enthusiasts who would like to broaden their spread of knowledge.
