Peel back, take apart, reassemble and enjoy the awesome science of supercars!

Inside Info: Taking Apart a Supercar is full of turbo-charged, sleek and surprising features of supercars of all kinds. Working inwards from the outermost layer—the streamlined spoilers and five layers of protective paint—to the heart of its power—the engine—we get to know the parts and process of making a supercar super. Finally, see how it all goes back together through the genius of production, engineering and design.
