That Marcello Gandini is one of the greatest of automobile designers ever has never been disputed, and whether he is the greatest ever, only time and the directions automobile design takes, will tell. But there is no doubting Marcello Gandini’s immense impact on automobile design in the last four decades of the 20th century that still remains valid well into the 21st century. From the Lamborghini Miura to the Maserati Quattroporte IV, from the humble Innocenti Mini to the epic Cizeta V16T, Marcello Gandini has designed some of the most epochal of all automobiles. Iconic cars like the first-generation BMW 5 Series, the Audi 50/VW Polo, the Fiat X1/9, the Lamborghini Countach and the Diablo, the Lancia Stratos, the Renault Magnum super truck, and many others have all flowed from his stylistic pen.


Designing automobiles that really defined the late 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, even the 1990s, Marcello Gandini is, arguably, the one man who had the greatest impact, the one who changed automotive design the most. A book on him and his design is long overdue. Finally, one has arrived…

  • 2 Volume set
  • 400 pages in each volume
  • 924 images (449 Volume I and 475 Volume II) - many never seen before!
  • Over one hundred of Gandini's designs featured
  • 600 regular editions, 400 numbered and signed by both Marcello Gandini and Gautam Sen and a limited number of leather bound editions now available.

Author Biography

Internationally acknowledged as the leading automotive journalist and writer in India, having founded the country’s first newsstand car magazine Indian Auto in 1986, Gautam Sen also launched Auto India in 1993, which became India’s best-selling car magazine ever. Later he also launched the Indian editions of auto motor and sport and BBC’s TopGear magazine. Since 2007 Sen has been back in the driver’s seat at Auto India and has been dividing his time between Paris, where his family lives, and Mumbai.

Though less publicized, Sen has also been directly involved with the automobile industry in India and Europe, beginning with his first automotive job at Maruti Udyog Limited, India’s leading carmaker, and then subsequently consulting at various levels in the areas of technology, design, product development, marketing and joint ventures, and in the process, interacting with the likes of Hero Motors, Hindustan Motors, Ideal Jawa, Mahindra & Mahindra, San Motors, Tata Motors, and TVS-Suzuki. Sen also lead the design and development of India’s first sports car, the San Storm.

Whilst working on design and development projects, Sen has worked with eminent designers such as Gerard Godfroy, Tom Tjaarda and Marcello Gandini.

Sen has authored several critically acclaimed books on automobiles: The Maharajas & Their Magnificent Motor Cars (published in French by E.T.A.I., in English by Haynes Publishing and in German by Heel), The Car Design Book, Rolls-Royce 17EX A Fabulous Destiny, and A Million Cars for a Billion People, other than co-authoring The Story of the Star in India and The Royal Udaipur RR GLK 21.

5 of 5 Master Collection for Automobile Fans March 23, 2021
Reviewer: Ajay Naidu from Dubai, Dubai United Arab Emirates  
The book is a masterpiece and to have both Gautam and Marcello original autographs on it is rare to possess.
The book is a master piece because it delicately and intricately curates the work and stories behind each of Mr. Gandini's creation. His daring styling which were ahead of its time, yet the vary connection of body design inspired from nature and human element connects with car enthusiasts. Each page on the book is worth the wait to be admired and flipped. The book is for all, car admirers, engineers, designers and dreamers. Marcello's life time work captured in 2 part book. It work of art. Finally cannot complete without mentioning Gautam's contribution. Amazing work by Gautam and his passion for automobile reflects in every inch of it.  Simply reflect a brilliant team play here.

1 of 5 So-So Book, Never Received "My Rewards" Points April 8, 2020
Reviewer: Anonymous Person  
The book was OK.  Not bad, but not as good as many other automotive books.  In particular, the quality of the images within this book is considerably less than what one might expect given the price.  What particularly upset me with this transaction was that I never received the 50 "My Rewards" bonus points that I was supposed to get for this purchase.  I sent an email asking about this problem.  No response.  I sent a second email asking about it again.  Still no response.  Finally, I gave up on asking, but the whole experience has definitely left me with a negative impression.
