4-6Megafast series.
Illustrated by

&
Jeremy Pyke.
After an introduction to the kind of vehicle, each book features double-page-spread profiles highlighting stats, physical features, and mechanics of specific models. Color photos are superimposed (sometimes jarringly) on other photos and drawings on each spread, and there's very little transition between the profiles.

Review covers the following Megafast titles: Megafast Cars, Megafast Motorcycles, Megafast Planes, and Megafast Trucks.
