- Top gear. [videorecording] / by Clarkson, Jeremy.; May, James,1963-; BBC Worldwide Americas, Inc.; British Broadcasting Corporation.; Warner Home Video (Firm);
Presenters, Jeremy Clarkson and James May.Everyone has an opinion on bad cars. Now it's time to hear the ones that really count! The hosts of Top Gear travel to the very distant North of England to name and shame the most rubbish car from a manufacturer which, frankly, should have known better. But this hilarious Top Gear special isn't all about hateful cars. You have to revel in some good ones to appreciate the stinkers. We look at the Ferrari 458 Spider, Toyota's GT 86 and the $520,000 Lexus LFA rubbing shoulders with a Mercedes SLS. We argue over the great and the awful from Peugeot, Ford, Mahindra, FSO, Alfa Romeo, Rolls-Royce, Porsche, Citroen, Saab, and many more, before we reveal a very special, surprise fate for the car that we crown the worst car in the history of the world!Canadian Home Video Rating: PG.DVD, widescreen (16:9) presentation ; Dolby Digital stereo sound.- Subjects: Automobiles.; Muscle cars.; Sports cars.;

- Power play : Tesla, Elon Musk, and the bet of the century / by Higgins, Tim(Journalist),author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Inside the outrageous, come-from-behind story of Elon Musk and Tesla's bid to build the perfect car. Elon Musk is among the most controversial titans of Silicon Valley. To some he's a genius and a visionary; to others he's a mercurial con artist. Billions of dollars have been gained and lost on his tweets; his personal exploits are the stuff of tabloids. But for all his outrageous talk of mind-uploading and space travel, his most audacious vision is the one closest to the ground: the electric car. When Tesla was founded in the mid 2000s, electric cars were novelties, trotted out and thrown on the scrapheap by carmakers for more than a century. But where most onlookers saw only failure, a small band of Silicon Valley engineers and entrepreneurs saw potential. The gas-guzzling car was in need of disruption; the world was ready for Car 2.0. So they pitted themselves against the biggest, fiercest business rivals in the world, setting out to make a car that was faster, sexier, smoother, cleaner than the competition. But as the saying goes, to make a small fortune in cars, start with a big fortune. Tesla would undergo a truly hellish fifteen years, beset by rivals, pressured by creditors, hobbled by whistleblowers, buoyed by its loyal supporters. Musk himself would often prove Tesla's worst enemy--his antics more than once took the company he had funded largely with his own money to the brink of collapse. Was he an underdog, an antihero, a conman, or some combination of the three? Wall Street Journal tech and auto reporter Tim Higgins had a front-row seat for the drama: the pileups, wrestling for control, meltdowns, and the unlikeliest outcome of all: success. A story of power, recklessness, struggle, and triumph, Power Play is an exhilarating look at how a team of eccentrics and innovators beat the odds--and changed the future"--- Subjects: Musk, Elon.; Tesla Motors.; Alternative fuel vehicle industry; Automobile industry and trade; Electric vehicle industry;
